Blurring Boundaries Over Time: A Longitudinal Study of AI, Metacognitive Regulation, and Responsibility in Engineering Problem Solving

US NSF grant open #nsf-2549953

Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are rapidly transforming how undergraduate students learn, solve problems, and make decisions in educational and professional settings. On one hand, AI systems are increasingly able to generate solutions and explanations, and to offer students new opportunities to enhance their learning through reflection, exploration of their ideas, and a deeper understanding of technical content. On the other hand, students' use of these tools may also weaken their independent problem-solving abilities and decrease their accountability for decisions they have made. Such dec
