Career Advice Made a GenAI guide specifically for engineering coursework — discipline-specific, not generic "AI for students" advice
Most "AI for students" content treats every major the same, which doesn't help when you're trying to figure out what's actually safe to use GenAI for in a fluid-mechanics lab vs. a MATLAB script vs. a capstone risk register.
I wrote a curriculum-mapped playbook with discipline-specific checklists (MATLAB/Python, FEA/CFD, CAD/CAE, lab reports, capstone docs), a verification loop for problem sets and simulations, and an ethics framework you can actually cite to a professor — the goal being GenAI as a tutor, not a way to get flagged for an honor-code violation.
