While there is anacknowledgment of the benefits AI can bring in understanding complex concepts and creating adynamic learning environment, there is also a clear emphasis on the need for critical engagementwith AI-generated content. The data suggests that students are aware of the potential pitfalls ofover-reliance on AI and the importance of validating AI products. This highlights the necessityfor educators to balance the integration of AI tools with traditional teaching

After years of taking general writing courses, engineering students appeared to havea need to receive formal training and feedback on how to write as an engineer.

engage in those reflections needed to evaluate complex situations, which often involve socio-economic and political considerations. Case studies have been shown to be an effective way to do that, and an effective case study allows students to go beyond the simple facts of the case by looking at laws past and present, historical context, and current practice and lead them to make informed decisions [16]. This process not only enhances their analytical abilities but also encourages them to explore new dimensions of the engineering practice, facilitating that much needed shift to a more equitable and socio-centered engineering practice.
