Leveraging ChatGPT in the Generation of Interdisciplinary Curriculum: Programming Finance

This paper explores the role of AI tools such as ChatGPT in generating interdisciplinary curriculum- specifically generating curriculum artifacts within a programming course that is accommodating to finance students. A literature review is undertaken which highlights the need for such interdisciplinary content within programming curricula, and results in a three-step process is suggested within the paper to understand the educational environment, functionalities within the environment, and the use of prompt patterns for creating more effective prompts to be used with Large Language Models (LLMs). A series of example prompts and responses are presented that show the initial success of following this methodology and the paper discusses the future work of analysing the efficacy of the generated artifacts, as well as implications for future curriculum development.
