instructors. We conducted an analysis of thewritten reflections from students in the 2023/24 cohort regarding their understanding of thestrengths and weaknesses of generative AI technologies. Furthermore, we assessed howstudents' awareness of generative AI ethics, responsibility, and legal considerations evolvedthroughout their reflections. By identifying common blind spots, we gained valuable insightsto continually enhance guidance for students at various stages of their learning progress.KeywordsGenerative AI, AI competency, AI ethicsBackgroundIn the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence technology, there is a pressing need tobridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills, especially in the realm ofgenerative AI

) ways to practice and promotetechnology-life balance; and 5) a reflective assignment. Each section was chosen based on itsapplicability to first-year engineering students and designed to contain examples from popularculture to appeal to students' interests, such as the mobile application TikTok.The first module, Digitalization and Technology in Our Modern World, focuses primarily onproviding students with the appropriate background information and context to situatethemselves within the modules. Furthermore, it promotes the exploration of student positionalitywithin a highly digital environment. A group activity in which students are asked to share whatthey already know about digitalization, digital technology usage, and technology-life balance

The same differences in presentation areapparent in media reports of what members of the Israeli and Palestinian public think.Deception and controlIt is likely that we will readily concede that propaganda is a form of deception. It is less likelythat we will concede

bounds, to look beyond its borders bothfor problems and solutions” [15] is an important pedagogical goal. She usefully distinguishesbetween technical management (the management of technical projects) and “administrativeleadership in diverse situations” [15].She elaborates on the distinction to illuminate the ways in which the dominant paradigms inscientific and engineering education are conducive to the generation of new knowledge but arenot useful for innovation and management. In her account, administrative leadership entails “theability to work quickly on a variety of discontinuous activities that are brief in nature and requireless reflective thought”; she contrasts this with the technical management paradigm of “working

comprehensive intervention aimed at helping students develop self-regulation andsuccess skills. It focuses on goal setting, community building, academic development, andpersonal development. The program covers student development topics in a first-yearengineering course/lab/seminar, and students are asked to design their own process for successand write a reflective, comprehensive report. For the Fall 2023 term students were asked to writefour reflective homework assignments (~1000 words per assignment) and a reflectivecomprehensive report (~4000 words). Since there is no institution wide policy regardinggenerative AI use in courses, the following syllabus statement was used:The Use of AI such as ChatGPT, Google Bard etc.You can utilize AI technologies

and responsibilities via presentation of technical course material. Overall, this casestudy investigates nuclear engineering for its curricula-embedded epistemological foundationsand offers reflections on the relevance of beliefs about knowledge to engineering problemsolving.2 Introduction The term “engineering”, linked in origin to both “ingenious” and “engine”, describes aprofession linked to the virtues of originality and innovation as well as the artifacts and processesdeveloped to enhance human flourishing. We take these elements (production of tools, originalinnovation, and the commitment to human welfare) to be foundational (though incomplete) dueto their ubiquity and use this as a starting point for our analysis [1], [2

No longer are libraries the primary starting point for inquiries; instead, the ubiquityof internet access and advancements in mobile communication technology have made onlineplatforms, through search engines and web pages, the mainstay for acquiring up-to-dateinformation [1][2]. This evolution reflects the emergence of “digital citizens” who prioritizeconcise, visually appealing information formats over traditional text-heavy content, marking asignificant shift in information

The data in [2] represent a wide range ofinstitutions and show that, instead of laboratories improving epistemic agreement betweenstudents and experts, a small decrease in agreement is observed over the course of anintroductory physics lab. This result is similar to another study which found that some laboratoryexperiences in basic electric circuits may deteriorate students’ epistemic views, in particular theirviews about coherence of mathematical models and the physical world [3].The literature from chemistry includes reflections on the purposes of educational laboratories.While chemistry programs in general devote more time
