-11].An engineering ethics course is an appropriate venue for addressing the issues of GenAI becauseethical concepts and critical thinking are central. Ethics has been a standard part of theengineering curriculum for decades [12, 13]. There is flexibility in how engineering ethicscourses are taught, and these courses typically integrate contemporary topics such as GenAI.Topics in engineering ethics courses include basic moral theories, principles of professionalconduct, codes of ethics, and case studies [12]. Case studies are narratives that demonstrateethical dilemmas around technical issues where relevant actors are faced with choices regardingtheir actions [14, 15].The efficacy of using case studies in engineering ethics education is well

This disparity in participation anddecision-making reinforces power imbalances in knowledge production, often leading to epistemicinjustices that limit the diversity of voices in engineering problem-solving. An epistemic justice approachin engineering seeks to disrupt these power imbalances by fostering inclusive and diverse knowledgeecosystems that value multiple epistemic contributions, irrespective of disciplinary boundaries or socialhierarchies (Walker, 2019).
