Future AI tools may use effective innovations in teaching that are hard forhumans to replicate. Humans adapted to changes adequately in the past; rapid changes in AI willcontinue to pose challenges that can be serious.References[1]. S. D’Agostino, “Machines Can Craft Essays.

Engineering faculty (permanent, visiting, andpart-time) along with these postdoctoral fellows worked to incorporate over 14 virtues infusedacross 12 engineering courses in the curriculum. The faculty team experimented with diversepedagogical approaches and strategies. Buy-in and having nearly 100% of faculty (permanent,visiting, and part-time) participate in bridging engineering education with character educationhas achieved essential learning for us as a team. During the 2022-2023 academic years, theresearch team focused on assessing student insights, perspectives, and learning as a result of themany character-based interventions

Both thesurvey and interview participants were offered participation incentives in the form of a gift card.All surveys and interview protocols were approved by the participating institutions’ InstitutionalReview Boards.In the study described in this paper, our data set consisted of 112 interviews that took place whenstudents were in their first year of undergraduate studies (T1), 32 follow-up interviews in

We conclude the paper witha discussion and recommendations for future work.IntroductionWhile generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) first became available for widespread use in late 2022(in the form of OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform), this milestone is the latest in a long march ofincreasingly sophisticated developments in harnessing computational power [1] for a variety ofapplications. For this paper, we will generally address how computational power and the use of datais increasingly impacting the practice of leadership. We will speak broadly to the impact of big dataand more specifically to Gen AI, but all under the umbrella term of data-enhanced leadership. Weuse this phrase to capture the phenomenon that
worse technical solution overall and that companies can savecosts by reducing data both on the network and in centralized storage locations. In terms ofengineering choices, it also highlights that the choice to not put more autonomy on the voice assistantdevices is a choice and a different choice could easily be made particularly if you prioritize differentgoals and objectives. This is supported by some of the approaches discussed in the course such asValue Sensitive Design, Design Justice, and others. The case studies are of increasing complexity and culminated in a case study on COVID-19 tracingapps. In Fall 2022, when the course was taught the COVID-19 pandemic was still fairly front-of-mindfor everyone. COVID-19 tracing was an important

In addition, students confirmed that thestandard ethics modules were not sufficient to understand ethical issues, and ethical implicationsof their group project, leaving them at a disadvantage as compared to their peers who graduatedfrom different educational institutions.In response to this need of students to understand the ethical implications of their group project,one of the authors of this paper who also taught capstone piloted an approach for impartingethics in her classroom in Fall 2022, which involved student teams creating a video of
