   IEEE Trains Preuniversity Educators on AI and Semiconductors

   IEEE Spectrum reports that 54 preuniversity educators attended TryEngineering sessions focused on artificial intelligence and semiconductor technology. Participants learned about the engineering design process and classroom-tested lesson plans, including “The Making of a Microchip” and “Train Your Tree.” Sessions were held across the United States and in Egypt, with workshops scheduled in Greece and Guatemala. Attendees also took part in hands-on projects and visited facilities including the Florida Semiconductor Institute, a SkyWater Technology chip manufacturing plant and the University of Arizona State University’s NanoFab.

   CLASHarness Benchmarks Multimodal Agents in Multi-Agent Conflicts

   A research consortium involving Google and six universities released CLASHarness, an open benchmark for testing 15 models when teammate reports conflict with system evidence. According to New Zhiyuan, its 600 executable tasks use high-resolution visual evidence and cover 20 domains; the report says no model exceeded a 30% end-to-end pass rate, with active verification and task handoff remaining major weaknesses. The generation pipeline, evaluation tasks, and an interactive trajectory viewer are available as open-source materials.

   US computer and information science enrollment falls for a second year

   Preliminary National Student Clearinghouse data show US computer and information science undergraduate enrollment fell more than 12% and graduate enrollment more than 10% this fall, extending a decline recorded for two consecutive years. Reports discuss concerns about AI-related changes to entry-level programming work and weaker technology hiring. Stanford University economist Jacob Light said the enrollment data do not prove that AI or ChatGPT caused students to turn away from the field; changes in learning, students’ expectations about course returns, a weak technology job market and international student factors may also matter. The preliminary data exclude international student enrollment.
