responses to four interview questions regarding theirunderstanding of engineering and their engineering identities.1. What are some words and phrases to describe engineering or what engineers do?Students used different phrases to answer this question. A few themes emerged in theirresponses, which can be summarized as follows: • altruism was described as “helping others”, “engineering ethics”, “safety [of people and structures]”, “respect for the environment,” “[having] good morals,” “philanthropists” • adaptability was described as “constructive criticism”, “flexibility [in a team environment]” • planning and analytical thinking, described as “thinking before doing”, “[engineers are] analytical and

This work-in-progressstudy investigates how senior engineering students leverage AI-based learning tools, such asChatGPT, in design projects and explores the need for integrating formal AI training into engineeringcurricula. The study is guided by two central research questions: (1) How does AI enhancestudents’ ability to navigate complex design processes and improve outcomes? (2) What are theperceived impacts of AI on students’ learning, skill development, and ethical considerations inengineering design?Eighteen senior capstone students from three design project groups at a land-grant university inthe western United States were selected and recruited through convenience sampling toparticipate in the study

of AI meant they had to do "less thinking," which put bounds on their creativity and original brainstorming.4. Ethics: A couple of responses touched on the ethics of using AI for assignments. They noted that while it is possible to use AI for all work, it is the human's responsibility not to delegate everything to AI.5. Context: The responses agreed that AI was more suitable for some contexts than others. For example, AI is more suited for quick brainstorming and "short-term" projects than long-term ones. Additionally, AI is better at providing feedback than generating novel ideas. One student noted, "AI's main strength is saving time, not generating amazing ideas."Overall, most students responded that they would use AI in

Impact of a curriculum and design course redesign on student’s engineering design process knowledgeIntroductionIn 2024, significant changes were implemented in the first-year engineering program at theUniversity of Virginia, leading to a major redesign of courses across the curriculum. Previously,first-year students took two separate courses: one focused on the engineering design process,technical communication, and prototyping, while the other centered on sociotechnical concepts,non-technical communication, and ethics. However, starting in 2024, these courses wereintegrated into a single sequence taught by one instructor to eliminate artificial distinctionsbetween technical and sociotechnical topics. This change also

IntroductionGenerative AI (GenAI) has fundamentally altered the educational landscape, bringing bothadvantages and challenges. In engineering education, the rapid adoption of GenAI tools hasfacilitated learning but has also spurred a notable increase in academic dishonesty. In the wake ofthis shift researchers have been quick to examine effects. Chan [1] explored this phenomena andintroduced the concept of “AI-giarism”, describing the misuse of AI tools to bypass traditionalplagiarism detection systems through a qualitative study of over 500 students. Li [2] emphasizesin their work the growing ethical dilemmas stemming from hard to monitor usage of GenAI inassessments, ultimately calling for adaptive educational policies to address this issue. It is clearthat

This shift marked a broader recognition that the challenges engineers facedwere increasingly multidisciplinary, requiring a new approach to education. Organizations suchas the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE) also contributed to this evolving perspective.

[5]. The ethical responsibility of engineers goes beyond the technical aspects of their work; they must consider the social and justice implications of the systems they create. For example, engineers can help reduce inequalities by designing accessible technologies that serve diverse populations or by developing infrastructure that meets the needs of underrepresented and underserved communities [5], [6]. This approach requires engineers to carefully evaluate how their work affects different social groups and to strive for solutions that promote inclusivity, equity, and justice. Engineers have a responsibility to ensure that their projects do not reinforce existing inequalities but instead work towards creating a fairer and more equitable
