The Influence of ChatGPT on Computer Engineering Students: Quantitative Research on Adoption and Dependency

This study focuses on the influence of ChatGPT on third-year Computer Engineering students at Bulacan State University. The researchers of this paper aimed to determine the extent of adoption and the level of dependency on ChatGPT among students. The researchers survey 30 students across three sections which reveals significant findings: 93.3% believe it helps them complete their schoolwork more efficiently. Furthermore, 83.3% of students trust the guidance provided by ChatGPT, and 96.6% find it useful for resolving academic issues. However, the study also highlights a dependency on ChatGPT. While 73.4% of students consider it necessary for effective work completion, and 70% find it easy to use for timely assignment submission, only 40% believe it enhances their academic performance. Overall, the study underscores the importance of providing clear instructions and guidance on the appropriate use of ChatGPT in academic settings to maximize its benefits and mitigate potential drawbacks.
