computer science depend on persona and identity, it is critical that everyindividual working in this area have an acceptable level of ethical awareness and sensitivity, andthey must be able to make an ethical decision whenever they face an issue [2]. To achieve this,we need to teach computer and information ethics to students from undergraduate programs,along with theories and technologies in computer sciences. Recent research shows us that ethicseducation improves students’ ethical awareness and sensitivity as well as moral reasoning [3]–[4]. While many undergraduate computer science programs include ethics in their curriculum,the teaching methods, topics, target students, credit hours, and instructor expertise vary [5]–[8].There is an urgent

Theeducational outcomes align with the EE department’s strategic goals and the university’s mission toprovide high-quality academic programs, as demonstrated below: 1. Students demonstrate ethical decision-making and embody the attributes of an engineering profession. 2. Students majoring in Electrical Engineering and Theatre collaborate to educate their peers in ethical awareness and moral values. 3. Students acquire cross-disciplinary lifelong learning skills.To assess the impact

justice and behavioral ethicsresearch are concerned with questions of right and wrong, until recently, the study of ethicalbehavior at work has focused on them as two distinct scholarly traditions. Discussing theimportance of linking the two, they stated [7]: The process theories of justice offer an important avenue for integrating behavioural ethics research. If fairness decisions are made through a series of cognitive steps, then there are a number of stages in which ethical considerations could intervene. (p. 891)In the case of engineering education, Rottmann and Reeve [6] identified “a long-lasting divisionbetween ethics and equity in engineering education” (p. 146) and framed it as the micro/macrodivide.

Although STS andother academic fields have begun to take an interest in non-human animals, the topic isthinly addressed in engineering ethics literature. And yet, as the primary source oflearning and training for aspiring engineers, engineering education has a responsibility toinclude in its curriculum ethical considerations of animal welfare in the development anddeployment of new engineered systems, and in existing engineering systems.Resources for a new engineering ethicsA good place to introduce engineering students to the idea of engineering with a focus onethics and animals

Some of these challenges have been long discussed by the engineering ethicscommunity: at what level are engineers responsible for their products? How can projectmanagers and engineers effectively integrate societal considerations in workaday efforts? Otherswere more unique to the Artemis mission, including space sustainability, balancing access tolocations on the moon, and sharing the benefits of space activities. 3.

Long-term ethical education can also serve as a perennial concept. Rather than a one-time ethicsworkshop, integrate ongoing ethics education into AI courses. For instance, students could explorecase studies related to indigenous knowledge and AI.Furthermore, collaboration should be achieved with local communities, linguists, and educators toensure that AI systems are culturally sensitive. Regularly update algorithms to reflect evolvingcultural norms. Moreover, AI tools that facilitate the documentation and dissemination ofindigenous knowledge should be developed.

An engineeringeducation integrated with ethics as a way to make longer-lasting systemic change [13], [12].Incorporating experiences such as community outreach and guest speakers helps, in part, toframe an education in the ethical issues beyond the workplace [16]; however, this is just anextension, albeit a very valuable one, of the current education strategy. More recent papershave proposed game-based learning experiences, or ‘playful learning’ as a way for students toimmerse themselves in ethical issues and consider them from new perspectives [9], [8].
