Teaching AI to Non-STEM Students: A General Education Approach Using Space Weather and Low-Code Tools

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an increasingly important topic across many disciplines, impacting industries and social institutions beyond traditional STEM fields. As AI becomes a part of daily life, it is crucial to introduce AI concepts to non-STEM students. This paper discusses an interdisciplinary approach to teaching AI at Rockland Community College, a two-year institution within the State University of New York (SUNY) system. Our curriculum integrates AI literacy into general education requirements, allowing students to fulfill the Natural Science General Education requirement. A central focus is the application of AI in analyzing solar weather patterns using low and no-code tools. We explore pedagogical strategies, course design, and student engagement techniques to make AI accessible and applicable across various fields.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an increasingly important topic across many disciplines, impacting industries and social institutions beyond traditional STEM fields. As AI becomes a part of daily life, it is crucial to introduce AI concepts to non-STEM students. This paper discusses an interdisciplinary approach to teaching AI at Rockland Community College, a two-year institution within the State University of New York (SUNY) system. Our curriculum integrates AI literacy into general education requirements, allowing students to fulfill the Natural Science General Education requirement. A central focus is the application of AI in analyzing solar weather patterns using low and no-code tools. We explore pedagogical strategies, course design, and student engagement techniques to make AI accessible and applicable across various fields.
