are also interested in the environment in which they will be workingand relating stories from consulting jobs helps motivate them in class6, 11. Studentquestions about “real-world” experiences can lead to discussions that could relate toprofessionalism and ethics, liability, and other non-technical issues9. Industrialexperience and professional licensure is more important in undergraduate programs thanin graduate programs1. This stems from the fact that many graduate students aremigrating toward careers in academia and research, while the undergraduate counterpartsare most often going into field engineering positions upon graduation.

The developmental goals are intended to helpguide decision-making when opportunities inevitably arise, so that opportunities can beevaluated against current goals and the student feels comfortable and justified in saying “no”when appropriate.Sample items included: ● Maintains a professional academic CV ● Situates research within extant literature and contextual data ● Relates research agenda to issues of diversity, equity, social justice ● Carries out research that adheres to ethical human subjects research ● Establishes a clear and

Thissemester, the university decided to convert the WU’s to W’s to negate the WU’s adverse impacton students’ GPAs. A student, who is enrolled on the census date, and does not officiallywithdraw from a course but fails to complete it, receives a WU. The NC stands for No Credit,and the students who failed, their grades automatically changed to NC. The students who got Dhad the option to petition for changing their grade to NC. Due to the challenging COVID-19related situations, the university administration believed that these would be the most ethical andcompassionate decisions.

According to Zhu(2017),Professor of computer science at UCLA, artificial intelligence can be summarized intosix main fields: computer vision, natural language understanding and communication,cognition and reasoning, robotics, game and ethics, and machine learning.[3] Inaddition, another scholar (Chen, 2018) pointed out that artificial intelligence is usuallydivided into three categories[4]: (1) special artificial intelligence, which focuses on theresearch of one or more special fields and functions. At present, it is in the stage ofrapid development and has achieved rich results, such as computer vision and speechrecognition. Most
