interest in teaching students about AI ethics, little is known how toteach or incorporate ethics related issues in AI curriculum. The traditional approach of teachingethics as an isolated part in undergraduate computer science courses has failed to translate intoexperiences outside the classroom and left students unprepared for the current and future work intechnology [7], [8]. Educators agreed that to prepare students to create ethical designs, ethicseducation needs to be embedded across the curriculum and engage students in practicing ethicaldecisions during the building of technologies. Yet there are still many debates about how to bestaccomplish the goals of ethics education, and the ways that different programs teach ethics arefar from

Overall the courses related to prototyping and manufacturing weremostly impacted and therefore creating the experiential framework for students to be able toundertake more challenging topics. However, the experiential and knowledge scaffolding wascreated by the lower level core curriculum courses in the area of measurement, instrumentationand quality control.

that face society will likely require new ways ofthinking that can emerge by applying different disciplinary lens/viewpoints to problems. But, thedisciplinary structures in higher education, while not all bad, do not readily provide a place for studentsand faculty within these disciplines to converge. For example, assigning multiple instructors fromdifferent colleges to teach in the same room at the same time do not coincide with universitysystems/structures/values. Also, gaining curriculum approvals within a larger institution across academicunits, each with their own curriculum oversight committees, is a difficult and time-consuming process.That said, the following sections will provide an overview of this model and lessons learned from

The specific objectivesof the RET project component were to: • Provide an in-depth research experience to two STEM teachers and prepare them to translate their technical experience to their curriculum. • Increase the teachers’ awareness of the profound potential of students with ADHD in engineering and gain knowledge on more effective ways to teach to these students. • Broaden the impact of the REU project through dissemination of the teachers’ experiences.The teachers joined two different engineering research projects and worked directly with theREU students assigned to the respective projects. This allowed the teachers to observe thestudents’ unique learning styles and capabilities in a research environment. The
