attention and prompting areconsideration of whether this form of education aligns adequately in terms of content,structure, and process to effectively prepare scholars and researchers to address the current andfuture needs of society [8]. In the process of interconnection between fields and contexts,different agents intervene, each with their roles. For instance, [9] the discussion addresses threedistinct agents in interaction—the research producers, the research users, and theintermediaries—and underscores the persistence of a gap among them [10]. It has been shown inprevious studies that copyright compliance and ethical use of research reports are an integral partof scholarly publishing [11]. This is because copyright violation is assumed to be
engineering ethics, writing in the disciplines, and the development of professional skills.Shelly Sanders, Mississippi State University Shelly is currently an instructor in the Shackouls Technical Communication Program in Mississippi State University’s James Worth Bagley College of Engineering and has taught technical writing as well as various English composition and literature courses at MSU since 2005. She also tutored writing with the English department’s Writing Center from its inception in the early 2000’s until 2015.

career goalsof a new researcher in EERRecommendations: (a) lobby for support by identifying institutional- or program-specific issuesthat the proposed EER can potentially alleviate; (b) obtain approval to participate in the advisingof graduate students in the social sciences prior to submitting EER grant proposals.7. Research ethicsChallenges: Although ethics are generally universal among all scientific fields, the authors facedseveral unexpected issues rooted in the ethical conduct and dissemination of results related toEER studies. These included (a) assigning students into control and treatment groups, (b)withholding student artifacts, and (c) publishing results in social science journals.Control and treatment groups. The authors carried out
. Figure 1. Desired skills for instructors in COILWithin the socioethical management skills, we have grouped social and ethical skills. One ofthe essential abilities is communication, not only oral and written communication but alsousing distinct channels or tools (e-mail, text messages, or chats). One related skill tocommunication is using comprehensiveness to clarify statements and notes [9], facilitating thestudents' feedback in diverse forms. In this part, ethical and social skills acquire a relevantrole, so communication must be based on respect in a comfortable and sure environmentconsidering cultural differences and institutional policies. Under this last point, instructorsmust also establish course policies and rules for class
health),hands-on activities, and an opportunity for online mentoring. The Fall 2022 offering was thecontrol group (redesigned online version), and the Winter 2023 offering was the interventiongroup (redesigned online version with choice in activities). Students of both groups were given apre-training and post-training quiz to measure their learning in their courses. Students in bothgroups (control and intervention) were offered training designed to experience identical content,instructional team, workload, and fair way to earn the ExpecTAtions Certificate. The study wasreviewed and given ethics clearance from the University Research Ethics Office prior to the startof the Fall 2022 term.Participant details and sample size: The study is conducted
, the goal of a conference presentation is to get someone to read your paper, and you don't need to show all of the details. The goal of an oral examination by a faculty committee is to convey that you are an expert, so it is important to include some "fast ball" slides (and be prepared to get detailed if questions are asked). 8Ethical conduct of research. Ethical considerations are always present in research. The first isplagiarism. It is good to broach the topic on Day 1. Students need to know that you takeintegrity seriously. Tell them always to give credit where credit is due, and not to claim anyoneelse’s ideas as their own. Self-plagiarism is also an issue. Each

Meanwhile, withChatGPT and other AI-generated content, online assessments must consider plagiarism detectionand student ethics education.Student Grades Comparison Over YearsBesides student perceptions, student learning is the goal and metric of the effectiveness ofadopting this approach. The student’s GPA (Grade Point Average) may be influenced by manyfactors beyond this approach of using multi-part problems with randomized parameterizations.As a coarse overview of student learning, the average GPAs from two courses in four years arecompared in Table 2 and Figure 18. The author did not teach other courses consistently to havecomparable data therefore only these two courses are presented. Note that FA21 is omitted as theauthor was on
assess high school graduates forcompetency in mathematics, reading or writing in the name of DEI [16], [17], [18].In this milieu, the new engineering professor enters the American university. Alongside the needto research, serve the college and profession, mentor graduate students, and publish, theengineering professor has an ethical responsibility to help shape the next generation ofinnovative engineers. Meanwhile, many of their students, through no personal fault, enter collegewithout the habits of mind or self-control expected of previous generations of collegeundergraduates. New educators may find students who struggle to adapt to the model of highereducation that produced the educators. Further, college graduates must self-direct their
