As AI writing and coding assistants become a standard part of modern technology, many engineering students are left walking a fine line. While tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot can dramatically accelerate brainstorming, debugging, and data processing, their misuse can easily trigger university plagiarism checkers and AI detectors. This forum is a space to explore the boundary between ethical assistance and academic dishonesty. We want to hear how you integrate these tools into your workflow responsibly. How do you use AI to understand complex thermodynamic equations or debug Python scripts without losing your original voice or violating academic integrity? Share your personal strategies, institutional policies, and perspectives on how students can leverage AI as a learning partner rather than a shortcut.
