]. However, thechallenges of transitioning laboratory experiments to these environments are still not wellunderstood. This is particularly true in chemical engineering, where replicating hands-onexperiences and ensuring safety and ethical considerations are especially critical [10]. Researchstudies in different contexts also suggest that these learning environments present severalchallenges, including replicating hands-on experiences [11], dealing with equipment limitations[12], [13], effectively assessing learning outcomes [14], adapting pedagogy to suit the onlineenvironment and ensuring safety and ethical considerations [15].Graphical characterization of pumps is critical to ensure optimal performance and compliance withtechnical and safety

As a result, thereis a growing focus on creating a diverse and inclusive environment in the engineering educationresearch community.The Role of Language in Engineering Education Inclusivity In recent publications in the field of engineering education, researchers have emphasizedthat even implicit and unintentional linguistic biases can profoundly impact underrepresentedgroups, particularly in terms of feeling socially included or excluded (Aeby et al., 2019; Golbecket al., 2016). These biases affect dimensions such as gender, race, ethnicity, and other socialidentities

challenges,particularly in terms of academic integrity and the ethical implications of AI-generated content.The potential for misuse, such as plagiarism or over-reliance on AI-generated solutions, is agrowing concern. This has led institutions to rethink traditional assessments and establishguidelines for ethical AI use. As AI continues to evolve, higher education must balance thepotential of these technologies with the need to maintain critical thinking, creativity, andintellectual integrity.In previous research, numerous studies have explored the impacts of ChatGPT on variouseducational domains, including computer science, engineering, mathematical modeling, andconstruction management. For instance, a study [1] examines how ChatGPT can enhance

Both sections are taught by the same instructor,covering the same lectures and assignments. However, in the AI-integrated section, studentsparticipate in AI-generated supplementary assignments and decision-making scenarios, enablingthem to examine the outcomes of economic decisions with AI-provided feedback.ImplementationEGR 303 - Engineering Economics at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

Lloyd [19] also demonstrated that local knowledge (i.e., water quality, ruralpractices), parental employment skills, and community knowledge can make science learningmore relevant to rural children. Although this study did not specifically address rural children'sfunds of knowledge, Wilson-Lopez et al.’s [20] examined engineering-related funds ofknowledge. Their research highlighted how everyday skills and expertise, acquired throughfamilial, community, and recreational practices, facilitated the development of teamwork,systems thinking, ethical reasoning, and scientific and mathematical knowledge, which areessential for engaging in the engineering design process. While a growing body of literaturesuggests that funds of knowledge gained from

The empathypractice of perspective-taking has shown promise for developing ethical responsibility,promoting an awareness of others, and facilitating effective interpersonal interactions amongengineering design learners (Hess et al., 2017; Walther et al., 2017). While the majority ofresearch has focused on empathy in students, empathy and perspective-taking have beendescribed as an avenue for engineering faculty to “understand their academically diverse studentpopulation” (Hess et al., 2012, p.15), allowing them to more adequately assist students

Introduction to engineering (EGGN-100) at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF),is offered to first-year and undecided engineering majors every fall semester. Besides theobjectives mentioned earlier, one of the primary goals of this PBL course is to “introduceundecided freshman engineering students to major projects in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, andComputer Engineering projects so that students can make an informed choice about their major.”The course starts with an active introduction to the engineering profession, different engineeringdisciplines, engineering ethics, team building, and engineering

Addingsustainability tasks into their proposed designs encourages the students to think about the largerimpact of their projects. Consideration of sustainability within the undergraduate capstone designis linked to professional ethics for all civil engineers, as noted in the BOK3: “striving to complywith the
