Generative AI usage
1st position: Use of GAI tools is not permitted for solving assignments. This means GAI tools cannot be used to complete formative or summative assessments, and using GAI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for spelling and grammar checking does not fall under this prohibition.
Study aids, laboratory background
Electronic manuals and online support materials for the current CAD software. CAD laboratory.
