The primary research question was: “What are students’perceptions of the ethical use of LLMs in college coursework?”The research employs a mixed-methods approach. The survey of student attitudes concerning theethical use of LLMs was conducted in courses from six different academic disciplines –engineering technology, computer science, political science, chemistry, health education andhistory – during the fall 2023 semester. Both quantitative data and qualitative responses on thesame survey, designed to be given before and after a short learning module, were collected, aswas a student assignment.

may argue that in engineering, perhaps the same principles are discussed using differentterminology, for example, engineering ethics. It is true that most engineering programs have somecoverage of engineering ethics either as a stand-alone course or as content that is integrated withdesign projects and design activities in design-focused courses. This is a fair argument that needsto be explored further.Design Justice principles and a code of ethics are both frameworks for guiding designpractice, but they have some key differences. A code of ethics is a set of principles orguidelines that outline what is considered ethical behavior within a specific profession. Inthe field of design, a code of ethics may outline how designers should conduct

Despite the advantages, AI may provide students with some misleading information andoutdated data. AI tools are also highly dependent on the phrasing of the prompts, potentiallyleading to suggestions that stifle creativity or misinterpret students' intentions. AI-generated textis unable to capture the nuance, context, and subjective nature of writing, making the AI responseshave a voice distinctive from the voice of the individual.

Industrial AdvisoryBoard, faculty, and industry representatives, in the projects.IntroductionA capstone design course is a major part of an engineering program. Students in the last year oftheir bachelor studies perform a team-based design project to show their ability to apply theknowledge obtained earlier to an engineering problem. This is important as students will facesimilar projects when they start working in the industry after graduation. In capstone experience,students are required to use engineering codes and standards and consider other constraints,including economic, environmental, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability,and social and political thoughts in a problem. According to ABET, the capstone course is

This concern makes job shadowing an ideal experiential learning program becauseit gives those a shadowing experience while not requiring the shadow participants to have theexpertise needed to perform tasks.A pertinent observation found in medical shadowing programs is that there are ethical concernswhen shadowing physicians during patient interactions [8] [9]. Namely, programs must considerensuring that participants follow confidentiality expectations. This concern can be handled byhaving students sign confidentiality agreements and complete HIPAA training. However, there arestill concerns that even if patients give informed consent to the student's presence, it may affect thehonesty of the interaction. Therefore, the potential
