scientific method, this progress is quantitatively parameterizedsince evaluation of the enhancement of functional capacity, to the rational engineer, requires anagreed-upon metric. From this understanding, the role of the engineer is linked to the ability toparameterize characteristics and tune them as desired. This approach, which deconstructscomplex physical systems in order to assess and optimize parts of a whole, is limited by theinteractions of the parts and the possibility of integration into the whole. The whole is not alwayseasily deconstructed, but, in the face of these limitations, engineers use their judgement to assesswhat is an acceptable model of the physical system within an acceptable error [16]. In this way,the design of engineered

generative AI. Furthermore, throughour practical experiences, we identify potential blind spots that may arise in the context ofAI-related teaching. This approach complements the story completion method discussed in[17], as we engage students in authentic scenarios in stage three of the proposed progressiveframework. Through these efforts, our aim is to refine and strengthen our framework,fostering an environment that promotes ethical awareness and responsible practices in thefield of generative AI.Guidance for using generative AI tools and building applicationsWe emphasize the importance of closely integrating ethical education with every aspect oftechnical competency training. This involves continuous efforts to define ethical guidelinesfor

The challenge is to reduce this powerfulabstract concept into a rigorous educational framework, with clear-cut methods, tools, and metrics,so it can be integrated into engineering curricula and practiced by professionals. The UnitedNations defines sustainability in terms of development that meets the needs of the present withoutcompromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This requires a mutuallyoptimal usage of natural, societal, and economic resources. Sustainability education necessitatesthe use of unconventional approaches as against the traditional lecture-based style. Someinstitutions have tried to develop a sustainability curriculum using the

The resulting surge in technology usage popularized a critical field ofresearch: technology-life balance. Technology-life balance, also referred to as digital wellness ordigital health, can be defined as the pursuit of an intentional and healthy relationship withtechnology and digital media.

approach. Embedding AI literacy seamlessly into existing curricula requires aninterdisciplinary strategy that covers technological competencies and delves into AI's ethical andsocietal implications [4]. This approach underscores the critical role of educators, who mustreceive robust professional development in AI to guide their students effectively. Furthermore,collaborative curriculum development emerges as a critical theme, advocating for a participatoryprocess involving educators, policymakers, and AI experts. This collaborative effort aims to co-design AI educational programs that are both relevant and forward-looking, preparing studentsfor a future where AI is an integral part of various sectors.To have the participation of the stakeholders

This paper advocates for the strategic integration ofinfographics as an essential tool to enhance learning outcomes. Infographics, by virtue of theirability to simplify complex information into engaging, visually stimulating formats, emerge as acritical asset in the educator's toolkit, offering novel ways to enrich the learning experience [2].Driven by the significance of visual literacy and the pedagogical potential of infographics, thispaper aims to highlight how these visual tools can significantly improve visual literacy,comprehension, engagement, and
part through project based work, designed to be undertaken in a real academic setting, and they should be jointly assessed by employers and the higher education institution. The intention is that enterprise programmes offer more than simple, bolt on modules of business studies. There should be an attempt to integrate the new programmes with the education provision already offered to the students. The initiative is not a narrow vocational substitution for broad academic education and does not displace the need for high level expertise and professionalism in any number of specialisations. Associated staff development is a critical feature of the initiative and it is expected that institutions will design training programmes for staff to deal

Since this is the last laboratory in the curriculum, students are expected to showproficiency in experimentation and the ability to correctly apply material from past courses likestatics, circuit analysis, and thermodynamics.
