impact onretention rates goes beyond the academic realm, extending to students' overall well-being. Bycreating an environment that values and addresses their beliefs, educators contribute significantlyto students' holistic success and fulfillment in their educational journey [25-27].Ethical Considerations: Certain beliefs, especially those entrenched in ethics, morality, andreligion, can be deeply ingrained and highly sensitive for students [28, 29]. Faculty memberswith a nuanced understanding of these beliefs are better equipped to navigate discussions andteachings related to these delicate topics. Recognizing these matters' sensitivity enableseducators to approach them with the utmost care, ensuring a respectful and inclusive

However, few educators have expressed concernregarding misinformation generated from AI training data and ethical issues like misuse bystudents (plagiarism) 4 . If implemented appropriately, G-AI hints at future advancements andbenefits to the academic community despite the limitations 5 . As G-AI becomes increasinglyprevalent in educational environments, it is important to recognize the benefit of integrating G-AIin a manner that enhances student learning capabilities, while also addressing plagiarism.Strategic designs of course curriculum that focuses on collaborations with AI for self-learning,assigning open-ended research-based problems could improve

more common in educational institutions,carefully considering the ethical issues they can cause is imperative. Educators must ensure thatAI-driven assessments are fair and unbiased, aligning with their institution’s educational valuesand ethical standards. Evaluating data quality, algorithmic transparency, and bias reduction arecritical factors in improving ethical AI integration in EE education.The successful integration of AI in EE education requires comprehensive training of educators. Itis essential for educators to not only have AI literacy but also the skills and ability to utilize AItools effectively. Educators must be able to identify and select appropriate AI tools for varyingeducational objectives. They also need to guide students in

, makingthem to see themselves as entrepreneurially minded individuals [7, 8]. Storytelling, throughwhich students share specific work or school situations that might represent a wide variety ofethical concerns [9] also constitutes ways to enhance and to extend the ethics learning outside atypical classroom setting.The integration of informal peer assessments provides additional opportunities for students toengage with academic content vicariously and to learn from their peers’ stories. The informalassessment process lowers the stakes, focuses on students’ learning as reflected in each story’snarrative, and encourages participation and creativity. Moreover, the processes of generating andsharing stories and the peer assessment process connect to

portion of this course heavilyemphasizes group work, allowing students to apply the theories they learned in the lecture portion of thecourse to a practical application while honing their communication, problem-solving, and teamworkabilities. Two mechanical engineering majors, two electrical engineering majors, and two computer sciencemajors were recruited by each student who volunteered to be a team leader during the first week of thecourse. It was important that these team leaders demonstrated a good work ethic and provided clarity totheir team when it came to meeting certain deadlines within the class. During the lab portion of the course,students were engaged in tasks such as assembling the robot’s mechanical chassis and electronics hull
