Certificate to MS for students interested in AI ● Coordinating mentoring and support activities to build engagement ● Study around professional identity development ● Thinking about partnerships with different stakeholdersAs those two pathways that were discussed in the previous slide originated from a 9-credit College Credit Certificate Artificial Intelligence Awareness shown here. TheCCC includes AI Thinking, AI & Ethics, and one elective (Applied AI in Business orIntroduction to Robotics).For the purposes of this study, the data that was collected for this study includes theAI Thinking, AI Business, and AI Ethics course. We plan on doing data collection ofthose who have taken the Introduction to Robotics as well that will be included
support studentdevelopment of professional competencies and engineering identity. Resources include a set ofrubrics for 12 professional competencies often associated with experiential learning (teamwork,ethics, global & cultural awareness, etc.). Structures include our new web-based learningresource platform, which we believe provides important professional and identity developmentsupport to students who engage with it. Furthermore, we believe that this approach can be doneat scale and provide meaningful support to the thousands of undergrads at our institution.Utilizing these supports and analyzing student outcomes will provide an exceptional opportunityto advance our understanding of the professional formation of engineering graduates

can occur across many areas of engineering problemsolving. Engineers might leverage divergent thinking when developing their understanding of theproblem and its context, identifying stakeholders, or exploring potential problem-solvingmethods and strategies [9]. As educational tools, stories have been employed to convey complex factors that impactengineering solutions in practice, such as ethics [20], conflicting technical requirements [21],sustainable development [22], and the human impacts of engineering decisions [23]. Accounts ofhow individual engineers have pursued divergent thinking in their workplace may be helpfulpedagogical tools for engineering students to better understand its importance and motivateefforts to learn more.

The participating preserviceteachers’ disciplinary specializations were Social Studies (n = 3), English Language Arts (n = 8),and Mathematics (n = 12). We found that all students portrayed that learning goals aboutartificial intelligence (in general) and machine learning (in particular) were relevant to their focaldisciplinary areas and their understanding of literate participation in society. Additionally, someTCs focused on students’ understandings of the social and ethical dimensions of artificialintelligence technologies. This included perceptions of the ethical dimensions of AI and thediverse cultural

Since freshman engineering students need to learn the same things, engaging the newlibrarians in teaching basic information literacy components to freshman engineering studentsseemed to be a good place to train them.The learning process included three significant steps: Observation, reflection (and input), andpractice. A key component was to maintain the novice librarian’s engagement at each stage ofthe learning process. The novice librarians first observed sections of the in-class component,taught by an experienced engineering librarian, with the knowledge that they would be

experience through supplementalworkshops and seminars. Considering previous research, the Translational Application ofNanoscale Multiferroic Systems (TANMS) research center designed, implemented and assesseda comprehensive REU program to engage students in research during both the academic year andsummer months. TANMS’s REU is an eight-week research experience for undergraduates frommultiple 4-year universities and community colleges. The program components include researchin one of TANMS laboratories, seminars on ethics and diversity, workshops on entrepreneurship,and social events. These activities are woven into an experience to instill sixteen specific skillsthat were grouped into five core categories: I) communication (2 skills); II

At IRE, and its sister program Twin CitiesEngineering (TCE), incoming students are presented with the outcomes during orientation. Asnew, innovative programs recruiting students before being accredited, discussion of theoutcomes and aligning program activities with the outcomes provided external credibility. Thissupported change and student buy-in to program activities that were designed to move themtowards better meeting the outcomes, but that would not be familiar to students in traditionalprograms, such as a professional development plan or metacognitive reflection activities.The IRE and TCE programs were developed as outcomes-based programs.

This research aims to equip construction students, professionals, andmanagers with a comprehensive understanding of potential causes and preventive measures toprotect lives and property. The findings underscore the importance of prioritizing quality,honesty, standard, safety, and human life in building construction practices. Furthermore, thestudy emphasizes to construction engineering students the implications of disregardingconstruction code of ethics such as integrity, honesty, safety, transparency, competence,accountability, and professionalism.Keywords: Building collapse, quality gap, construction, distressedINTRODUCTIONBuilding collapses pose a

This study builds on these methodologies by implement-ing domain-specific sentiment analysis and introducing a real-time feedback system to support personalizedlearning experiences.Aligned with these advancements, a web-based NLP platform[5] was developed for undergraduates, en-abling them to apply linguistic theories through case-based activities. This platform provides visualizationtools for tasks such as coreference resolution and word embeddings, allowing students to better understandabstract NLP processes through hands-on data manipulation. These types of interactive platforms bridgethe gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, creating a more

Post-hoc test resultsrevealed that students from undergraduate institutions reported higher levels of social supportthan students from research institutions and MSI/HSIs. For PSO scores, no significantdifferences between strata on various professional skills opportunities were detected viaScheffé’s test using 𝛼 = 0.05.

Furthermore, exposure to real-world challenges, especially when presented in anactive and practical learning environment increases both student interest and pedagogicaleffectiveness. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in its report, “Educating theEngineer of 2020,” contends that solving the Grand Challenges will require more than justproviding students with technical training. It argues that an engineering education must producegraduates who combine technical excellence with a multitude of other skills includingcommunication, teaming, ethical reasoning, and contextual analysis.

But the character and meaningof the [parent’s] care may be in excess of the work itself.
