We firstasked what services are being used, how much they are paying for them, what they are usingthem for, and how long they have been using AI.

relationships with engineering can support them in navigating the dynamics ofmarginalization [7]. However, there is a lack of investigation into how engineering learningenvironments can be designed to facilitate students’ (re)negotiation with these relationships.Making, defined by Sheridan et al. [8] as a process to develop an idea and construct it into somephysical or digital form, can be a space for rich transdisciplinary engineering learning andpractice [9] [10]. Making is a form of “heterogeneous engineering” [11] - engineering thatemphasizes not only the technical aspect, but also the social, material, and political dynamics[12]. Making as heterogeneous engineering resists the marginalizing narratives that technology isthe sole important aspect of

Framing engineering as a humanistic vocation which can be a notable function of a liberal artseducation, has the potential to develop and sustain pro-social beliefs among students and also contributeto their holistic formation as individuals and professionals.There have been voices predicting that engineering will be the liberal arts of the 21st century given theincrease in technology

increased flexibility in thinking and an enhanced ability to comprehend needs inrelation to ecology, the environment, and providing agency and transparency in interactions withtechnology, particularly in an age of complex artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Thisnecessitates a deeper understanding and application of empathy and knowledge of globalcomplexities. It emphasizes flexible thinking to anticipate and access the ethical, economic,political, and health impacts of the proposed designs, technology, and solutions that students willengineer. These implications also encompass the broader health and addiction impacts oftechnology, as well as its effects on the social and the ecological fabric [10].The challenges confronting engineering include
