This instrument was an adaptation of theResearch Self-efficacy scale [9]. Questions focused on things like the perceived ability to“engage in effective team practices,” “follow ethical principles of research,” “identify my ownstrengths within a team setting,” and “present research ideas in oral or written form.” This pre-post survey was augmented by weekly surveys aimed at understanding fellow engagement in theprogram. A final focus group was held with the project evaluator to further elucidate the
applications in ethical development, equity and accessibility issues (e.g. web scraping) o Future-proofing o Economics o Project management and team software processes o Communication skills o Conflict resolution o Individual software processes, resiliency, self-reflection, self-assessment o Revision control and use of tools o Innovation and creative capacity o Entrepreneurial mindsetOverall, students and faculty both wanted to see more diversity in senior technical electives.These courses also allow students to specialize in specific areas of interest since it is not possibleto cover the immense breadth of software engineering in a limited timeframe.

This research explores how graduate students are using theChatGPT and can be used to improve various research capabilities. ChatGPT can be used toimprove research and scholarship in academia in several ways. The breakdown of ChatGPT’suses by graduate students for their research is listed as follows.

As such, the integration thereof has emerged as a transformative force, reshapingpedagogical approaches and learning experiences. Various studies highlight the significance ofAI literacy, student readiness, and the adaptation of educational frameworks to accommodate theabove based on diverse learning styles, backgrounds, and more.Ng et al. [1] emphasize the necessity of defining AI literacy, which encompasses understandingAI's capabilities and ethical implications, as well as evaluating its impact on learningenvironments.

This convergence of knowledgeand responsibility to others and the earth rewrite the field of engineering through a decolonized,non-Eurocentric lens, and it balances the scales of credibility by offering freedom from prejudicethat privileges whiteness, maleness, ableism, heterosexuality, etc. With this liberation, we canensure women and those with non-centered identities have space to thrive and contribute to thebetterment of this world, as is a long-standing tenant of the engineering profession [1].ConclusionEpistemic injustice is a system of inequity that perpetuates an exclusionary culture to womenbased on their perceived
co-designin makerspaces [8, 9]. By having students focus on solving problems that they themselves careabout, or at least identifying a problem that has a person in the middle of the system, there areincreased possible opportunities to engage in social justice, and applied ethics [10] in doingengineering work. For the purposes of accreditation, ABET has also propagated a definition forengineering design more broadly as “a process of devising a system, component, or process tomeet desired needs and specifications within constraints” [4]. Additionally additional context andinputs about the global, societal, cultural, and environmental aspects of an engineered system arenow also part of the expected student outcomes ABET delineates.ContextWe
academia.IntroductionAttempts to understand research culture are not new, and there are examples of scholarsmapping, analyzing, and critiquing research culture in the sciences. Some examples are studiesranging from ethical concerns in psychology research [1], critiques of the underlyingphilosophical assumptions of scientific research [2]–[4], developing a framework for scientificresearch in the life sciences [5], to social and political critiques of funding practices in the STEMresearch enterprise [6]–[8]. Following these trends, scholars have explored the nature ofengineering and the cultural underpinnings that guide the field in both practice and training offuture engineers [9]–[13]. These works are often concerned with developing a deeperunderstanding of the
more sense-making 1approach that considers adaptive, critically self-assessing, and open acknowledgement ofstudents’ visions of purpose and success. The latter requires the formation of ethical relationshipsbetween graduate students and their faculty (Gelles, Villanueva, & Di Stefano, 2019) so thatinstitutional and programmatic factors that deter Ph.D. progression are mitigated, particularlythose factors that contribute to racial inequities in STEM. The authors situated the need for equal footing between Black engineering Ph.D. studentsand their mentors in where there is an intentional creation of safe and third spaces (VillanuevaAlarcón
data on these intersecting identities. Interview data were coded infour passes. We identified how the student’s unique values and experiences, mainly related to hiswork ethic, took priority over connecting with others or engaging in departmental or universityprograms. Themes that emerged from the interview data were familiar experiences (seekinghands-on experiences), motivation for engineering degree attainment (familial expectations anddesire for job security), degree attainment resources (strong sense of self-reliance, lack ofreaching out to other sources of support), and strategic gaps (limited understanding of what anengineer does or how to get an engineering job). Understanding this student’s experienceprovides insights into underlying
the world. Developments overthe past decade have focused on sustainable long-distance aviation technologies, urban airmobility, low-cost access to space, and the commercialization of human spaceflight, to name buta few. These and other projects continue to demand talented engineers to support their researchand development. The NSF REDO-E grant supporting this study identifies several ways in whichdiversity in engineering consistently yields improvements across many facets of the discipline.Groups with higher diversity consistently demonstrate improved overall performance [1] as wellas improved understanding of relevant subject matter [2]. Such groups are also more adept atmaking ethical decisions [3], which is of especially critical
