Emerging AI tools are reshaping software engineering education, revealing significant curricular trends that could redefine how future developers are trained.

Students increasingly focus on verifying AI-generated code rather than refining their specifications, revealing a shift in programming pedagogy.

Students using text prompts outperformed their peers using voice input, highlighting the need for careful consideration of input modalities in programming education.

Deliberately injecting bugs into GenAI-generated code significantly enhances students' debugging skills and success rates in subsequent attempts.
