These results led to four conclusions: 1) ethically, the use oftools such as ChatGPT without acknowledging that they have been used is cheating, 2) it will beimpossible to stop students from using tools like ChatGPT, but unacknowledged use can bedetected, albeit with a very high percentage of false positives, 3) use of AI tools should beencouraged rather than discouraged, and 4) higher education should focus on new methods andmechanisms for assessing student learning that take advantage of the AI tools.IntroductionArtificial Intelligence (AI) has made enormous strides during the past few years.

ResearchersAbstractThis pilot study explores engineering students' views on social responsibility in undergraduateresearch experiences. Participants displayed high concern for human welfare and safety butneeded more education and training to understand the importance of being socially responsiblescientists and engineers. To address this, the authors recommend incorporating a formalcurriculum to facilitate students' understanding and articulation of their views on socialresponsibility in science and engineering research. The authors provide suggested case studiesfor engineering educators to incorporate social responsibility topics into their curriculum,enabling students to learn and debate the ethical and social implications of their research,promoting critical
student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future scientists and engineers by blending social, political and technological spheres. She prioritizes working on projects that seek to share power with students and orient to stu- dents as partners in educational transformation. She pursues projects that aim to advance social justice in undergraduate STEM programs and she makes these struggles for change a direct focus of her research.Devyn Elizabeth ShaferDr. Brianne Gutmann, San Jos´e State University Brianne Gutmann (she/her) is an Assistant Professor at San Jos´e State University.

2023 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference ProceedingsWork-in-Progress: Sustainability Education in Law and EngineeringAbstract-Numerous surveys indicate that younger generations (Millennials and Gen Z)increasingly care about the actions of companies when it comes to sustainability and ethics. Nearly9 in 10 (88%) of consumers say that sustainable and ethical practices are key factors in determiningwhether or not they will purchase from a particular company. Furthermore, two-thirds ofconsumers (66%) say that they would not purchase from a company that does not have plans inplace to address issues of climate change and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), as well asethics.
