-makers worldwide face complex AI challenges, often without sufficient in- put from non-technical stakeholders, resulting in a democratic deficit. To address this, we propose the Permanent Symposium on AI (PSAI), a novel facilitation of inclusive, interdisciplinary, global dialogue on AI. This work-in-progress study is part of a larger research project investigating the challenges and gaps between governance and technical expertise in AI decision-making. This study leverages a Grounded Theory Autoethno- graphic (GTA) approach to document the end-to-end development and design consid- erations in envisioning the PSAI. Our approach will inform the future design choices in developing and testing of the PSAI - ensuring

decade. The production rate, stable at just under 2boats per year for the past 15 years, is projected to exceed 5 boats annually by 2030 due togeopolitical uncertainty. This growth will necessitate a substantial increase in the submarineindustrial base (SIB) workforce, with 15,000 annual new hires through 2032 [1]-[5]. Theseexpansion efforts have driven considerable investment in developing a STEM-literate navalworkforce pipeline in regions of high SIB density. This need is demonstrated in effortspioneered in southern New England, developing new pedagogies for K-12 outreach and teachersupport programs [6], [7].This transitory period “could lead to a period of heightened operational strain for the SSN force,and perhaps a period of weakened

theAdvanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) rule, setting forth an ambitious goal for all passenger cars,trucks, and SUVs sold in the state to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035. Continuing its decades-long role as a leader in environmental regulation, California paved the way for the rest of thenation to embrace such standards, with an additional twelve states adopting ACC II to date.Legislative and regulatory enthusiasm for electric vehicles reaches far beyond CARB’s rule asthe Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) allocated over $7.5billion to EV infrastructure and another $43 billion to projects ranging from batterymanufacturing to workforce transition for auto workers[1]. However, the goals set out by ACC IIwill require

the number of available researchers to carry out projects at theforefront of a specific field of inquiry. Faculty at all institutions are obviously recruited from thePhD granting institutions and consequently have typically spent four or more years conductingadvanced research usually on grant money, have authored papers and reports based on theirwork, and therefore enter the academic world already aware of, and presumably now able toexecute on their own, similar projects.However, other factors come in to play. Some new hires in non-PhD granting programs arespecifically drawn to such schools because they are more interested in teaching what they knowto undergraduates than they are in directing graduate students in research work. Others

interactions [5]. It is critical to understand theirunique needs and preferences.In asynchronous online programs, engaging students require more than just providing coursematerials. It is about creating learning experiences that keep students interested and motivated.Research suggests that adult learners particularly benefit from active learning strategies that allowthem to apply what they are learning in real-world contexts [6]. This could include projects thatencourage problem-solving, group activities, or assignments where students tackle current industrychallenges. Another way to keep students engaged is by promoting interaction. While it is notpossible to have live classes all the time in an asynchronous program, it is still important to findways

Ourresearch focuses primarily on the development and implementation of a female crash testdummy, which currently has the dimensions of 4’11’’ and weighs 108 pounds, while the averageAmerican female is 5’4’’ and 170 pounds. This project explores the meaningful representation incrash testing to improve safety outcomes for all occupants, and has policy implications onpregnant women, people of different ages, people with disabilities, children and infants.

to research. Furthermore, fostering an environmentwhere leadership is shared, and all members are motivated to contribute to the institution'sresearch agenda can lead to increased grant submissions, interdisciplinary research projects, andpartnerships with external stakeholders, ultimately driving growth in research activity andfunding (Commodore, Freeman, Gasman, & Carter, 2016).Integrating transformational and distributed leadership practices at HBCUs also has the potentialto strengthen partnerships with industry, government, and non-profit organizations. Thesecollaborations can provide additional resources, expertise, and opportunities for applied research,further boosting the institutions' research capabilities and funding prospects

gangmembers with emotional and social support, meets basic physiological needs, and providesaccess to new life skills [18]. This often includes attending classes, such as computer basics. Inan unrelated project in Tanzania, connecting rural villagers to the information economy throughthe use of laptop computers provided access to income, which the villagers could invest based ontheir own preferences [19]. Many villagers used the income to provide additional education fortheir children. In this way, education was used as a tool to provide a better life for the nextgeneration. These examples may serve engineering educators well as they teach design toengineering students.DiscussionAs stated at the outset, one purpose of this article was to engage in a
