(262e) Video-Inspired Problems Written By Students, Generative AI, or Both

Videos related to chemical engineering course content from thermodynamics to polymer engineering have been translated into student-written, homework problems that reverse engineer the actions in the video for many years. Many example of these problems, commonly called YouTube problems, are available in publications or the Material and Energy Balances zyBook. In the last two years, students authored problems based on versions created by generative AI (GenAI). Specifically, Students were asked to: 1: Pick a unique and interesting video as a team of 3 students. 2. Individually use a GenAI (Ex: ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) to write and solve a problem similar to quiz or exam problems in the class. 3. The teams were tasked with choosing between merging, combining, editing, or restarting their set of GenAI problems. Finally, one final problem statement and solution was submitted per team to meet the rubric’s criteria including: creative, complete, correct, and challenging.
