enablingthe development of interactive lab experiences, simulations, and practical exercises to integrateand create a greater understanding of AI capabilities. These innovations create authentic learningenvironments, equipping students with hands-on experience and honing their problem-solvingskills. This study also scrutinizes the ethical implications and challenges tied to theincorporation of Generative AI in education. It emphasizes the need for unbiased AI algorithmsand responsible usage while calling for comprehensive training and support for instructors inharnessing this innovative technology. In conclusion, this study intends to demonstrate that harnessing Generative AI inengineering technology education has the potential to
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

Throughout the semester, the curriculum addresses varioustopics, including but not limited to: Value
feedback, programming help, and virtual simulationsfor students to gain practical experience. 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
assessing theengineering and engineering technology programs look very similar. Both sets of criteria requirethe graduates to solve engineering problems using the knowledge of math, science, andengineering; solve engineering problems through design; conduct experiments to analyze andinterpret data to draw conclusions; consider ethical and professional responsibilities and publichealth and safety while assessing the impact of the proposed engineering solutions by situatingthem in the current local, societal, and global contexts; effectively communicate on technical andnon-technical environments; and contribute to teamwork [4], [5]. The only marked differencelies in the nature of problem solving or design that the graduates from the two degrees

Given that the tools have been widely available for about a year before the survey, the level of support is quite high.Question 8 - To what extent do faculty consider ChatGPT (or other chatbots) in other courses? ● A majority of students are in courses that use and/or require AI use. ● A majority of students are in courses that discourage the use of AI. ● There is a lack of instruction in ethical usage.Question 9 - Feel free to share some comments on why or why not you want to use ChatGPT (orother chatbots) in the future. ● Students question the value to support learning and feel it may reduce their learning. ● The responses that focus on AI reducing the rigor of
