degree of humanness and proactivity in our chatbotdesign, in addition to its ethical dimensions. Currently, course information is uploaded to thechatbot in a semi-automated manner, implementing a fully automated process can be moreproductive and easier for educators and admin users. To improve our chatbot, a new feature willbe added allowing students to provide their feedback on chatbot responses based on relevancy.This will allow us to measure how much student inquiries were successfully resolved.References[1] D.

Engineering Education Teamwork/leadership, project management, and design constraints are very important engineering education components. This project provides an opportunity for students to explore real-world standards and inquisitiveness for how engineering projects are conducted. Students have the opportunity to apply their conceptual knowledge to produce solutions to safety, environment, power, economics, ethics, sustainability, standards, and health. Students are placed to lead and organize key project teams. The project itself is

are necessary for assessing educationaloutcomes across engineering problem contexts. We are in the process of updating and refiningthe rubric’s content and structure to reflect current practices and ensure its applicability acrossdisciplines. A systematic literature review of sustainability and sustainable design in engineeringcurricula and practice confirmed most criteria in the rubric but also indicated several gaps. Somegaps were expected because the original rubric was directed towards civil and environmentalengineering projects, but most of the themes were confirmed in other disciplines. Examples ofpotential gap areas included ethics, affordability and equity, and innovation. While these areasare reflected in the SD Rubric 1.0, the

about the place of humanities and social sciences (HSS). This debate historically, andto some degree, currently, occurs between some HSS faculty who seek to develop students’understanding of cultural, ethical, and political contexts, and some engineering faculty who seethe study of language primarily as a tool for service within the profession and a method toimprove WOV communication skills. This debate has become known as the culture/utility debateand the engineering curriculum has seen many shifts in the past 100 years, with each side gainingand losing traction according to different historical drivers (ranging from shifts in educationalemphasis resulting from political events such as the cold war, to new accreditation standards
