Recruiting young women to engineering, however, is notwithout challenges. Engineering is often perceived of as a traditionally masculine occupation thatis unwelcoming to women [6], [7]. Studies also regularly find that women in engineeringencounter discrimination, difficulties cultivating a sense of belonging and obstacles to

to technology-richenvironments like makerspaces for traditionally underserved youth in engineering. Several pro-Makerspace actors purport that having experiences in such open-ended project-based settings canencourage engagement with engineering. However, as we know from prior work in the area,simply providing access to technology-rich spaces does not allow underserved youth to feelownership and belonging in both makerspaces and engineering environments. Additionally,formal and informal engineering education experiences do not center on preventing harm tocommunities and the environment in engineering work. Not only do future generations ofengineers need to reduce the harm caused by engineering and technology proactively, but harmreduction

Though ChatGPT usage might present challenges such as academicdishonesty and students have to be careful with the ways in which ChatGPT embeds biases andstereotypes, I outline design recommendations that instructors can pursue to guide studentstowards using ChatGPT to arrive at a more level footing to other classmates. At the end of the day, ChatGPT is a tool that has the potential to both do good and causeharm. It is up to instructors to educate and support students in leveraging it for the good it canbring, and avoid causing harms that it can perpetuate.
