perspective of Utilitarianism [21], unacknowledged use of an AI tool such asChatGPT to write essays, answer exam questions, write discussion board posts, or to completemany existing types of assignments, is cheating. From the perspective of individualUtilitarianism, students are cheating themselves because use of these tools may prevent studentsfrom learning the skills they need to succeed in their careers. From the perspective of universalUtilitarianism, society is being cheated out of having experts with the technical skills societyneeds to address many critical future issues and problems. Additional ethical implications ofcheating in assignments for credit may include harmful impacts on honest students who maycompete for grade-point-average (GPA
cybersecurity and other tech areas [2]. To address this deficit, concerted effortswere made to recruit and retain females in the cybersecurity industry by providing educational, networking,and mentorship opportunities. As a result, women constitute about twenty-five percent of the male-dominated cybersecurity workforce [3]. Experts in the industry suggest companies can lessen the gendergap in the cybersecurity field by partnering with schools to educate girls, inspiring girls and women topursue technology courses, explicitly marketing career opportunities to women, and promoting women tohigh-level cybersecurity jobs to provide role models for these new workers.

Forappropriateness, the posed problem should be one that is within the spectrum of a typicalteenager’s life experiences and thus relatable; for accommodating, the assignment should bedelivered in a way that makes problem solving using technical skills acquired in CS1 the primaryfocus.

feedback that provides the students with further contextabout how the presentation was received by each of the evaluators.Grading for Growth MindsetMuch of the messaging around professionalism grading focuses on an idea of growth andcontinuous improvement. By framing a ‘3’ as “student engineer”, a ‘4’ as “engineering intern”,and a ‘5’ as “professional engineer”, students recognize that they are able (and expected) to growand improve throughout their educational and professional career. In some cases, expectationsare clear and measurable (e.g. turning things in on time, communicating absences ahead of time).In other cases, professionalism is subjective to the evaluator and context.

and collaboration will be needed to ensure continuity andcoverage.When the semester system starts in Fall 2026, the first-year students will complete their degreesentirely on the semester system. Those classes which entered in the Fall of 2023, 2024 and 2025will experience part of their academic careers under a mixture of quarters and semesters. Therewill need to be a transition program for each of these classes. With a commitment to not delayany student’s path to graduation and the implementation of well-crafted course substitutions thatalways favor the student, this can be achieved with minimum rancor. The good news is that theproblem only lasts for three years and simply needs to be endured.Conclusions
. Cultural preparation is essential for any study abroad program. It's important for students to understand the culture, customs, and expectations of the place they are visiting. This can help avoid misunderstandings and cultural insensitivity. In addition, communicating with people from different cultures and languages is a valuable skill that can benefit students in many aspects of their lives. Learning how to appreciate and understand other cultures can help avoid misunderstandings and create more meaningful relationships. 2. This can also be applied to learning about different organizational cultures they may find themselves in during their careers. 3. Employability skills are also important for

ET in APSU offers ETAC of ABET accredited degree programs at the four-year bachelor's degree level. For people interested in gaining practical skills, this degree can bean ideal fit. With its focus on applications, it fits the person who has been in the workplace andnow needs a degree for advancement as well as others wanting a hands-on approach toengineering and technology [5]. The ET program prepares students for technical careers inmultiple concentrations (electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and mechatronics) in a widerange of applications and provides leadership in developing solutions to industrial problems [6],[7], [8]. The primary method of instruction for courses in the various concentrations in the ETprograms is based on the
ofinternational students. They found that the main reasons cited by foreign students for pursuingtheir degrees in the US were the higher quality of education, future career opportunities, thedesire to experience living abroad, the opportunity to work with specific faculty, and thepossibility of applying for residence in the United States [20]. This suggests that the UnitedStates is an attractive destination for international students who seek quality education, careeropportunities, and a path to residency.Language-related issues cause significant challenges for international graduate students,particularly for students from non-English speaking countries. English language challengescan hinder students' academic success and professional development [21
