Generative AI Guidelines for Students – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering ** Acknowledgment When the use of AI is limited by your instructor, you must disclose how you have used generative AI in the creation of any product that contributes in some way towards a grade. The required form of acknowledgment may vary depending on the level of AI use permitted in the assessment, as determined by your instructor. Within the Mechanical Engineering faculty, we have developed two standard AI acknowledgments: a standard, and an in-depth variant. Your instructor will inform you as to which AI acknowledgement you should use. The acknowledgment should be placed at the end of your docume

1. Fraud is taken to mean any act or omission by a student that makes it fully or partially impossible to properly assess the knowledge, insight and skill of that student or another student. Fraud is in any event understood to include the commission of plagiarism in any form; it should be clear that this includes all cases in which a student implies that the work in question is their own when this is not the case, such as copying the work of others, or the use of generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT), and presenting it as one’s own through deliberate deception or through carelessness or inadequate references. Fraud also includes among others the following: a

9. When, within the context of group learning, the Board of Examiners determines that group fraud has been committed, the Board of Examiners may impose one or more sanctions, as referred to in section 8, upon every member of the group. 10. The Board of Examiners will only take a decision as described in section 7 and will only impose a sanction after the student in question has been given the opportunity of having a hearing (oral or in writing). A hearing is not deemed necessary if the Board of Examiners, following investigation, determines that there is no fraud case.

De examencommissie neemt pas een besluit als in lid 7 genoemd en gaat pas over tot het opleggen van een sanctie nadat de examencommissie de student in de gelegenheid heeft gesteld schriftelijk of mondeling te worden gehoord.

The Board of Examiners will give the student an opportunity to add written comments to the report that was prepared by the examiner or invigilator. 7. The Board of Examiners will, in the event of fraud, decide that no result will be awarded to the student for the examination in question or assessment given for the practical exercise, apart from in exceptional cases.

Generative AI Guidelines for Students – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Generative AI tools (such as Copilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini) are rapidly changing how we study and work. The following guideline outlines when and how students can use such tools within their education at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, while ensuring academic integrity, personal learning, and ethical responsibility. AI as a Learning Support Tool AI tools can support your learning by: • Explaining concepts • Refining language • Assisting with programming and debugging • Acting as a brainstorming partner These uses can often enhance your learning experience. However, AI tools

must not replace your own analysis, critical thinking, or academic writing. With data safety and uniformity in mind, the TU Delft recommends using the web-version of Microsoft Copilot at this moment in time. You can log into Copilot with your TU Delft credentials. Student Responsibilities As a student, you are ultimately responsible for your own work, including any work produced with the help of AI. When using AI tools, be aware of the following responsibilities: • Permission: Check the written statement* regarding AI use for each course. • Transparency: Always cite and describe your use of AI tools in accordance with the acknowledgment** text that your instructor deci

des upon. • Critical Evaluation: AI outputs may be inaccurate, biased, or fabricated. You remain fully responsible for all submitted work. • Academic integrity: You are expected to adhere to the principles of academic integrity, as outlined in the Code of Conduct. • Safe use: Do not disclose personal or sensitive information. Be aware that AI plug-ins make the accidental disclosure of personal or sensitive information even easier. • Environmental awareness: AI tools and software are taxing on the environment. Consider sustainability and energy efficiency when using AI. January 2026

Your instructor will inform you via a written statement* about any restricted or prohibited uses of AI in their course. For certain assignments or course elements, instructors may discourage, restrict, or prohibit the use of AI tools. If this is the case, you are required to add an acknowledgement** to your work. Your instructor might limit the use of AI if they feel it conflicts with the learning objectives of the course. If your instructor imposes restrictions on t

Relying on AI-detection tools to penalise students risks false accusations, unfair treatment, and a breakdown of trust between staff and students. While plagiarism checkers help enforce clear rules, AI detectors operate in a grey area where “false positives” are common and untestable. Using them as a policing mechanism is therefore neither effective nor equitable in way of upholding assessment integrity. Instead, it is recommended that educators focus on adapting assessments to be more AI-resilient.

a useful ally in this regard. Plagiarism checkers compare student work against vast databases of existing text and are generally reliable at identifying direct copying. By contrast, AI-detection tools attempt to judge whether a piece of text has been generated by AI, which is inherently more difficult to verify. Research has shown that these tools are often inaccurate and can drive students to adopt basic “evasion” prompting techniques that further reduce their accuracy (Liang et al., 2024).   Relying on AI-detection tools to penalise students risks false accusations, unfair treatment, and a breakdown of trust between staff and students.
