-Credential on Professional EthicsIntroduction and Literature ReviewEngineering practice is not without risk for the public and one’s customers. As Sottile (2023, p.1) recently argued, “the safety and security of the public rely on the professionalism ofengineers.” The issue of effective engineering ethics education is important enough that theengineering accreditor ABET prescribes it as a student program outcome (ABET, 2021). Thiswork looks-in on a novel curricular development approach for creating a micro-credential inprofessional ethics at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), a large, public, research-intensive institution location in the northeast United States. The novelty of this approach rests onthe curricular development team

This research explores how graduate students are using theChatGPT and can be used to improve various research capabilities. ChatGPT can be used toimprove research and scholarship in academia in several ways. The breakdown of ChatGPT’suses by graduate students for their research is listed as follows. Based on the student’s giventopic or keyword, ChatGPT can help the researchers in identifying relevant literature

-American-Caucasian male systems engineering undergraduate studentwith backgrounds in operations research and economics. James is motivated to pursue engineeringeducation research because of several semesters’ experience as a teaching assistant in varying coursesincluding EMSE 3855W—Critical Infrastructure Systems. He is curious about the intersection oftechnology and human behavior and sees EMSE 3855W as a strong course model for sparking discourseon critical thinking in engineering both as a past student of the course and current member of the teachingteam. His experience as a participant in Lockheed Martin’s 2023 Ethics in Engineering competition hasdriven him to learn more about the role of critical thinking in engineering judgment and how to

ethical guidelines and practices [6].Purpose:This project seeks to advance combat-casualty patient care through a more detailed, objectiveapproach using a DSS tool that promotes system time-efficiency and decision accuracy whileconsidering a range of pertinent factors. The prototype tool aims to operate within the currentNDMS processes and hospital systems to advance patient care, specifically servingconflict-related casualties. The intent is to contribute to existing literature on patient triagedecision-making methods.Scope and Limitations:The scope of this project is limited to casualties expected to result from a conventional war witha near-peer adversary outside the United States. Also, the scope is restricted to the patientdistribution

withconsiderations on intellectual property and research conduct, universities from a variety of sizesand demographics continue to adopt policies for standardized and ethical AI (Kansas, 2024).Universities also support training initiatives for faculty to complement these guidelines, such aseducation training (Dyer, 2024) and the Ole Miss AI Winter Institute for Teachers (Watkins,2023).Student-focused: Universities also make efforts to provide students with concrete roadmaps ofwhat to do and what not to do in education (Latrobe, 2024). For career focused usage uponentering the workforce, companies provide services for understanding how to use AI (LinkedIn,2024).
