When considering our modern world and striving for diversity, equity, and inclusion, it is essential to ensure that technology works for all. Even though there is an excitement for the advancement of AI, there is also a need to enhance our understanding and consideration of the ethical implications of AI to inform future generations and future AI technology. The education system has a significant role in molding the minds of future AI pioneers and engineers. Therefore, it is vital to understand the attitudes and beliefs of undergraduate and graduate students who will play a pivotal role in the ethical implications of AI advancements. This work-in

TRAILS seeks to increaseSTEM self-efficacy within science and technology teachers and advance students’ learning ofSTEM content at schools in rural settings. TRAILS uses engineering design as a STEM subjectintegrator, providing an authentic learning context to promote 21st century skills, and motivatestudents to pursue STEM careers. The TRAILS model blends scientific inquiry and engineeringdesign to teach common STEM practices and STEM habits of mind. TRAILS leverages the useof innovative tools such as additive manufacturing technology, 3D scanning technology, andparametric modeling software, allowing

We also assessedwhether the camp outcomes, including interest in engineering or other STEM careers, wereincreased by developing the camp with self-reported student interests in mind and developingcamp content around a single accessible, real world theme.A major goal of the University of Arkansas College of Engineering summer camps is to reach asdiverse a group of students as possible.

. Some of these activitiesinclude participating in training courses, or continuing education experiences from universities orprofessional organizations and on-the-job experience. Engineers typically enter the workforcewith a BS degree. One way to enable their life-long-learning skills is to expose them to graduateengineering education directly after their bachelors degree. There is a need for a professionallyoriented MS program graduates who are focused on innovation and implementation. The 4+1program was developed with just this in mind. It is a program which benefits the student,benefits the faculty who are implementing the program and benefits the society which thegraduates serve.

With this in mind, engineers as well as non-engineers have arole to play to ameliorate living conditions for humans everywhere to reduce thepossibility of war and conflict. The question humanity in general and engineers inparticular are faced with is how to engineer peace and employ various skills to build abetter future for all. The answer to this question starts with an attempt to combat thefactors that ultimately lead to conflict.

With detailed, modern categories, we would have the data to analyze through thelens of intersectionality, which emphasizes intersections between forms or systems ofoppression. Intersectionality studies disaggregate categories such as "underrepresented minority"and "women," which hide the experiences and stories of distinct groups such as Latino males andAfrican American females. We realize gathering this data is difficult in engineering given thesmall populations of some groups, but this is not an excuse and underscores the need for multi-institutional data sets4,5 and qualitative research focused on small

The directacquisition of the materials by the students is more effective than the college providing them, forthree reasons. First, there is a very wide variety of available engineering materials and it is notfeasible for a school to have a storehouse. Second, it is highly desirable for the students to visitcommercial materials supply stores and begin to develop knowledge of what is out there for use inreal engineering projects. Third, it persuades them to involve themselves in practical decision-making while keeping in mind the functional, aesthetic, and cost factors.
