University. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Sessions on Faculty EthicsRationale for sessions on faculty ethicsAs engineering educators, we want our students to become ethical engineers when they graduate,and we devote time in the curriculum to preparing them. One aspect of being a professional inany field is having a shared set of guiding principles, and professional engineering societies allhave codes of ethics. These codes, as well as many other resources about ethical frameworks andsteps in decision making, are available for classroom discussions, and there are databases of casestudies (e.g. https://onlineethics.org/). Faculty are members of engineering professions as

for educators [7]-[10]. Concurrently, academicinstitutions are grappling with ethical implications, such as the lack of equitable access to AI, andacademic integrity issues, such as tensions around cheating, that GAI technologies might bring[11]-[13].This work-in-progress paper provides an initial exploration of engineering faculty perspectiveson students' use of AI assistance in homework completion. The research draws upon role identitytheory [14], [15] and activity theory [16] as guiding frameworks. By doing so, the full researchwill uncover the multi-dimensional views of faculty regarding student use of AI, investigatingthe similarities or differences across engineering disciplines and between proponents andopponents of AI assistance in

While for some students the trustworthiness of an academic might besufficient, other students may expect you to cite your sources, especially with regards tocontentious or novel topics. This helps present the information as being more than just youropinion, assisting students with the evaluation process.Additionally, in areas of Engineering that might be more subjective (such as ethics andprofessional skills) it can be helpful to acknowledge that reasonable minds can come todifferent conclusions based on the same set of facts. Coming across diverse perspectives hasbeen shown to increase empathy and improve ethical decision making in students, as itteaches them their original perspective is not necessarily universal [27].Component 3

Like Castaneda’s (2019) work Trbušić (2014) proposed that reforming engineeringeducation involves examining and critically questioning engineering curricula and practices. Thegoal of the work was to introduce a critical pedagogical approach to foster conscientizationamong engineers, enhancing their ethical acumen by raising awareness about a wide range ofpressing issues such as sustainability, environmental protection, poverty eradication

However, we discovered after six months of meetingthat having a group be this broad, while beneficial for many who are highly interested in interdisciplinaryresearch, was not for everyone. Having a group whose purpose was to conduct research projectsspecifically for purposes of integrating disciplines was too vague. Water is a critical issue front of mind formost Texans. It is also a theme that connects many different types of expertise including biology,engineering, technology, data science, agriculture, environmental science, chemistry, policy, economics,communications, education, marketing, and ethics.

Some staff may have moreexperience than others, some may be more preoccupied with other responsibilities. These typesof factors can affect how they interact with and support student learning.There may be cultural differences in courses that span regions or countries. Cultural differencesbetween cohorts have been found to affect interest in the material [15]. These differences couldaffect the way faculty and staff function, including their expectations of timeliness, interactionswith others, and work ethic/quality. There could also be variations in national or religious beliefsand practices that have direct implications to
