. In fact, many of the ideas presented by theassociation are extracurricular in nature, which has been found to be ineffective for reachingengineering graduate students, according to meta-synthesis [1]. While librarians are oftenspecialized in the areas engineering graduate students lack and seek personal mentorship in, theyare often stuck in providing that support by ineffective means. The typical engineering curriculum does not have courses on research methods, few havecourses on research integrity or publication ethics, proposing research, writing, peer reviewing,or how your worldview influences your research [4, 5]. Published engineering literature, in fact,often leaves many of these important aspects of research as assumed [5

ofpersuasion [3]. While for some students the trustworthiness of an academic might besufficient, other students may expect you to cite your sources, especially with regards tocontentious or novel topics. This helps present the information as being more than just youropinion, assisting students with the evaluation process.Additionally, in areas of Engineering that might be more subjective (such as ethics andprofessional skills) it can be helpful to acknowledge that reasonable minds can come todifferent conclusions based on the same set of facts. Coming across diverse perspectives hasbeen shown to increase empathy and improve ethical decision making in students, as itteaches them their original perspective is not necessarily universal [27].Component 3

norms and behaviors thatmarginalize underrepresented students, further exacerbating their sense of exclusion andalienation [4]. Engineering's “hidden curriculum” covers things like professional norms,confidence-building, and ethics, taught indirectly in early foundational courses, makingadaptation difficult for transfer students [5].Mentoring has been identified as a valuable strategy for decoding the hidden curriculum andsupporting students in navigating the implicit messages and norms present in educationalsettings [3], [4], [6]. Mentors can provide guidance, share their own experiences, and offerinsights into the hidden curriculum, thereby helping students to understand and navigate theunspoken rules and expectations of the academic
not sign the consent letter to participate in the IRB-approved evaluationresearch.Evaluation MethodsEvaluation of the project consisted of a pre-post survey instrument focused on perceived self-efficacy in universal teamwork and research skills. This instrument was an adaptation of theResearch Self-efficacy scale [9]. Questions focused on things like the perceived ability to“engage in effective team practices,” “follow ethical principles of research,” “identify my ownstrengths within a team setting,” and “present research ideas in oral or written form.” This pre-post survey was augmented by weekly surveys aimed at understanding fellow engagement in theprogram. A final focus group was held with the project evaluator to further elucidate the
about the research project from the expertise of community members,while community members develop skills in conducting research (Israel et al., 1998). Studentswho are integral to the research team also derive benefits from engaging in community-basedprojects. This involvement enhances their awareness of community issues, fosters communitycollaborations, and refines their research skills and methods (Dunbar et al., 2013). Despite thesebenefits, CBR also presents challenges, such as ethical dilemmas between community desireswith respect to research design and methods and outsider researchers scientific rigor (Minkler,2005). Additionally, early career researchers engaging in CBR face challenges due to competingdemands on their time and resources

ethical considerations in working with K-12 studentsand obtaining authorization from school districts to the EDM community. The objectives of the EDM course are to cultivate an environment where students can acquireknowledge and develop skills associated with data science techniques, advanced software usage for dataanalysis, and learning theories and educational practices to interpret and design educational interventions. Considering that it is very likely that participants in an EDM course may come from strong datascience or education backgrounds, there are two considerations to accomplish the learning outcomes ofthe EDM course. First, students must learn concepts and skills that may not be part of their background,such as
applications in ethical development, equity and accessibility issues (e.g. web scraping) o Future-proofing o Economics o Project management and team software processes o Communication skills o Conflict resolution o Individual software processes, resiliency, self-reflection, self-assessment o Revision control and use of tools o Innovation and creative capacity o Entrepreneurial mindsetOverall, students and faculty both wanted to see more diversity in senior technical electives.These courses also allow students to specialize in specific areas of interest since it is not possibleto cover the immense breadth of software engineering in a limited timeframe.

As such, the integration thereof has emerged as a transformative force, reshapingpedagogical approaches and learning experiences. Various studies highlight the significance ofAI literacy, student readiness, and the adaptation of educational frameworks to accommodate theabove based on diverse learning styles, backgrounds, and more.Ng et al. [1] emphasize the necessity of defining AI literacy, which encompasses understandingAI's capabilities and ethical implications, as well as evaluating its impact on learningenvironments. The study proposed four aspects: know and understand, use, evaluate, and
