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

Additionally, the repetitive nature ofmany inquiries can detract from TAs' ability to provide meaningful, in-depth guidance [6]. AI chatbots offer a scalable solution to mitigate these challenges by complementing therole of TAs. These tools can handle repetitive, procedural queries, allowing TAs to focus on morecomplex instructional tasks. Moreover, AI systems equipped with problem-solving frameworkscan promote response consistency, reducing variability in student support [7].

However, the scopeof this framework does not align with this course redesign because (1) this course does not havea programming component, and (2) the “transparence and awareness” component of thisframework doesn’t address the competencies needed to productively work with, contextualize, orcommunicate with data to multiple audiences. As a result, the authors looked beyond theengineering education literature to other
