. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Experiences with using an LLM-based Chatbot for a Multicultural Engineering Program Orientation (Experience)AbstractGiven the pace with which AI systems are being developed and used, there is a growing need formore guidance around the ethical use of AI. Due to the prominence of artificially intelligentsystems, future engineers need to be able to analyze the available AI models and makeresponsible choices critically. In the Fall of 2024, The Human in Computing and Cognition(THiCC) Lab collaborated with the Multicultural Engineering Program Orientation (MEPO) atPenn State to teach incoming engineering students about the responsible use of AI systems withthe help of an interactive

Center (AI3C) in the School ofEngineering at The Citadel Military College. The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded thecamp to broaden the participation of underrepresented minority girls in STEM. The goal was toinspire underrepresented minority middle school girls to close the STEM gap in South Carolinaby exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) and healthcare. In the summer of 2024, this camphosted 16 middle school girls and one high school volunteer from 12 schools across threeneighboring school districts in the Charleston area. A team of 11 professors, administrators, andvolunteers facilitated the camp.Campers responded positively to the culturally responsive curriculum. The curriculumhighlighted AI awareness and ethics, programming AI

projects—amandatory component of the curriculum—serve as a culminating academic experience thatrequires students to apply their technical knowledge and research skills to solve real-worldengineering problems [4]. These projects typically involve designing, analyzing, andimplementing engineering solutions while considering various constraints such as feasibility, cost,and sustainability. Integrating principles of economic, environmental, social, ethical, and healthand safety sustainability into capstone projects prepares students to meet the demands of theengineering profession. This approach aligns with the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) criteria, which emphasizes graduates' ability to “design a system, component,or

into engineeringand STEM fields. Thus, it is important to explore in which ways critical consciousness can beadded to engineering programs.In engineering education, there have been some recent efforts to increase critical thinking andsocial awareness with mixed results. When critical consciousness projects have been added tosome engineering curricula, research has shown that students still struggle to fully consider thebroader ethical implications of their work [17, 18]. Despite the various approaches thatresearchers have utilized, such as journal writing [19], integrating critical literacy approaches[18], user-centered design projects [10], and multi week course projects [4] there are stillquestions about how to better prepare engineering

ethical imperative, and empowering individuals who would otherwise not be ableto fully engage in STEM increases our national potential to advance science and solve real-worldproblems. In this paper, we share a conceptual framework that seeks to define the “interruptions”experienced by Black women in STEM as they navigate undergraduate STEM programs. Ourframework, grounded in Black feminist epistemologies, is informed by two years of datacollected from surveys, interviews, focus groups, reflective journals, and audio diaries of fortyBlack women undergraduates at three institutions of higher education. This frameworkilluminates the relationship between societal power structures, Black women’s STEM self-concept, and selected coping strategies

science is separate from the scientists involved. (Mejia &de Paula, 2019). Moreover, the false notion of objectivity presents science and engineering asapolitical and neutral, influencing students in the U.S. to believe that science and engineeringdesign are devoid of social, ethical, and political contexts. The concept of objectivity can lead topsychological conflicts, such as feelings of alienation for those raised in different cultures (Cajete,2020). Thus, teaching science exclusively from a Western perspective may negatively impactstudents. While Western science has potential drawbacks, Indigenous communities understand theimportance of integrating Western and Indigenous knowledge (Cajete, 2020).
