Summary
This project aims to serve the national interest by improving undergraduate computing education through structured integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in courses, enhancing student preparation for AI-driven careers. It addresses the growing challenge of students relying on GenAI tools without guidance, which may limit critical thinking and team-based problem-solving. By embedding scaffolded GenAI practices into a Senior Design course at University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), a large public research university, the project aligns student learning with modern software devel
