Develop students' knowledge and ability to employ engineering methods including analysis, computation, modeling, experimental techniques, and design to solve engineering problems involving ecological systems. 5. Develop students' understanding of their legal, ethical and professional relationships with society to prepare them for the professional practice of ecological engineering.Figure 1

The course objectives, formulated to address this deficiency, are as follows: • Explain the characteristics of a profession. • Explain the roles and responsibilities of the members of the CE project team—Owner, Design Professional, Constructor, and Project Manager. • Apply the ASCE Code of Ethics to the solution of an ethical problem in civil engineering. • Demonstrate an understanding of the multi-faceted challenges facing

Bycreating an environment that values and addresses their beliefs, educators contribute significantlyto students' holistic success and fulfillment in their educational journey [25-27].Ethical Considerations: Certain beliefs, especially those entrenched in ethics, morality, andreligion, can be deeply ingrained and highly sensitive for students [28, 29]. Faculty memberswith a nuanced understanding of these beliefs are better equipped to navigate discussions andteachings related to these delicate topics.

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
