The goal of this project is to characterize how students use generative AI (gen-AI) in the computational physics course offerings at OSU. We are trying to identify how to support students to use gen-AI in ways that enable them to express creativity and learn computational physics. Through ongoing curriculum development and primarily qualitative research methods, the project team has begun to explore different ways that students use gen-AI creatively. In the long term, we are aiming to produce a set of curricular guidelines for integrating gen-AI in support of creativity in computing-integrated STEM courses, including strategies for updating curricula as gen-AI continues to evolve through technological advancements.
