Further, this framework argues that conscientious negotiation of risks and benefits forthe betterment and transformation of societies is underpinned by four reasoning quadrants(experiential reasoning, trade-offs reasoning, first-principles reasoning, and future reasoning),fluently examined through the core practice of multicultural ingenuity and ethical integrity. Thispaper details the theoretical foundations of the socially transformative framework and providesexamples of its pedagogical translations to guide pedagogy practices.IntroductionEngineering, as commonly understood, is the practical application of scientific and mathematicalprinciples [1], the creation of new products [2], and the procedures

instruction of specific lessons from Units 1 and 2of the e4usa curriculum. For this paper, Lessons 1 and 7 from Unit 1 and Lessons 1, 4, 6, and 7 from Unit2 were examined. These lessons emphasize the importance of engineering communication methods andthe continuous evolution of the definition of engineering and an engineer's role. They also highlightcollaboration within teams, addressing ethical considerations, understanding the broader applications ofengineering, and tackling societal challenges. A full description of the lessons, along with theirsubsequent learning outcomes and thread connections are detailed in Table 1.Table 1Overview of Analyzed Lessons from Units 1 and 2Unit and Name of

potential usage in integrated STEM. Firstly, their competency using AI toolsappears to greatly influence their attitude toward AI-integrated STEM pedagogy. Second, theirperceptions of AI's effectiveness, utility, and ethics seem to significantly impact their willingnessto adopt AI for classroom usage. Lastly, research suggests that PSTs recognize both the benefits,like improving student engagement and personalized learning, and the challenges posed bytechnical difficulties or the complexity of interspersing these technologies in their STEMclassrooms. As such, teacher education related to meaningfully using AI tools is an importantfocus of integrating AI. Teachers must be skilled and confident in using AI tools in theirclassrooms, while also able to

technologyutilized among various education programs.1.2 Research problemsTo summarize the related work, we note that in most instances of AI education for high schoolstudents, an increased enthusiasm, interest in career in CS and data science, and learning werepositively impacted. But some topics are difficult to teach like societal implications of AI toolsand the ethics in AI. Thus, we recognize the following challenges with AI education at the highschool level: 1. Technical topics are often skipped entirely, briefly mentioned, or taught unsuccessfully in a passive learning style. 2. AI projects are often limited to image classification tasks or use game-fied interfaces. Natural language processing tasks like sentiment analysis from text

, cyber ethics, and digital ethics were also discussed. Each lesson included formative assessments togauge the students’ understanding of the content. Prior to the start of each lesson, students were promptedwith questions pertaining to the previous lesson to help students recall key topics. Throughout eachlesson, students engaged in various knowledge checks to ascertain whether they grasped ideas presentedduring instruction. Those knowledge checks included the following: ● Thought provoking prompts embedded at pivotal points in the lesson ● Online flashcards to aid in the retention of information ● Fun and interactive quizzes and polls to assess comprehension ● Exit tickets to ensure key points

engineering self-efficacy levels.Data Analysis Pre-test and post-test scores on the TESS questionnaire were compared to determinewhether there were significant changes in participants' engineering self-efficacy after completingthe course. Statistical analysis techniques, such as paired t-tests and ANOVA, were employed toanalyze the data and identify any significant differences. Moreover, the relative percent gainedwas also calculated by comparing the difference in mean scores between consecutive years andexpressing it as a percentage of the initial mean score for each construct. This approach allowedfor a standardized comparison of improvement rates across different constructs and over time. This study adhered to ethical guidelines

Copies of the patents from the Inventor Videos were also added because students couldrelate to them, having seen the inventor’s story.The quality of the students’ experience working with patents also subtly improved. One exampleis from their final project. Students must watch an episode of the series “How it’s Made” andpresent a 5–10-minute slide show describing how the video addressed five topics from the year’slessons: engineering design and systems, economics, intellectual property, ethics andsustainability, and entrepreneurship. Early on, there was only one standout presentation using IPwhere the student’s slides on electric guitars were almost entirely pictures, including severalshots of early patent drawings leading up to the Les Paul 1955

The author found that the “hands-on” and “real-world” situations that the role-playsituation afforded were particularly pedagogically valuable for engineering education students.In the realm of a computer systems analysis and design course in a New Zealand bachelorprogram, Erturk (2015) explored two class sessions that involved students producing Data FlowDiagrams and Activity Diagrams, where the intention was to demonstrate their analysis of asoftware “case” by constructing, reviewing, critiquing, and reflecting on the diagrams.

with her students, inviting community members whowere impacted (many of her students’ relatives) to come present to the class. As a result, the fourth-grade students engaged in the engineering design process to construct and test dam designs withthe community context in mind, grappled with the ethics of engineering, and offered alternativesolutions. This example demonstrates the power of connecting an engineering task to place, localhistory, and community and cultural contexts to increase relevance and importance for students.Other CRED tasks developed by teachers included areas of interest such as: designing a filtrationsystem to improve indoor air quality, developing a severe weather app to be used by teen drivers,creating a model of a
