    Teaching with AI in Mind
    (Technical University of Cluj Napoca, 2026-04) MUREȘAN Carmen
    The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into higher education has urged a critical reassessment of both student workflows and pedagogical strategies. This study investigates how engineering students use AI tools and how such technologies can be integrated pedagogically within English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. The research draws on a survey of 250 first- and second-year students from several faculties at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, examining patterns of AI use, motivations and students’ perceptions of ethical boundaries. Building on these findings, the study advances a series of classroom activities that incorporate AI as a pedagogical tool, including hybrid text analysis, prompt engineering, hallucination detection and iterative feedback exercises. The findings emphasise that AI’s educational value lies not in replacing student effort but rather in guiding reflective, process-oriented learning, shifting assessment from product-oriented outcomes toward process-oriented engagement.

    Revising Research Papers in English to Avoid Desk Rejection
    (Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, 2024-04-28) MUREȘAN Carmen
    In the rapidly expanding landscape of academic publishing, adhering to English for Research Publication Purposes (ERPP) standards presents significant challenges for second language (L2) writers. Beyond linguistic proficiency, mastering academic discourse conventions and argumentation structures is essential. Romanian researchers, in particular, face obstacles due to linguistic and structural differences between Romanian and English. These include mastering academic style, accurately translating technical terminology, and adapting to the conventions of international scholarly writing. Limited access to high-quality language support services and the pressure to publish in high-impact journals further complicate the process. These challenges not only hinder the clarity and coherence of research papers but also increase the risk of desk rejection, preventing valuable contributions from reaching the global academic community. By analyzing the revision of approximately 200 pages of Medical Robotics research intended for international journals, this study highlights the specific obstacles encountered in manuscript preparation and the role of revision in mitigating the risk of desk rejection. Furthermore, it underscores the need for structured training programs and language support mechanisms tailored specifically for non-native researchers to improve their writing skills and overall publishing success.
