authors and literaturesuggest the dangers of not engaging meaningfully with communities when working onhumanitarian engineering projects. Considering that the success of the project is related to activecommunity participation and long-term commitment, the parties enrolled should follow the fiveprinciples presented by Mazzurco and Jesiek. These principles facilitate the communityparticipation, planning and management. Therefore, it is important to plan and establishstrategies to ensure the success of the project and promote engagement between engineers andcommunity members to achieve the project´s objectives. The literature provides guidelines thatenables engineers, educators, and community members to work more effectively.The Co-Design is “The

Software engineering managers in Tobias Neely etal.’s [1] case flagged that stretch assignments need to have an element of building new skills andcapacities (stretches were routinely described as “getting out of your comfort zone”) and anelement of visibility in the organization and to managers and leaders. Career advancement forthese engineers, in other words, revolved around proving competence in novel areas that hadstrategic importance to the business

research exists on its influence on classroom practices in first-yearengineering courses. The central question driving this research is: How does instructors'pedagogical knowledge influence their pedagogical practices for first-year engineering courses?For this study, we chose the model of teacher professional knowledge and skill (TPK&S), whichincludes pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). A descriptive case study was utilized as amethodology for this work to delve into the phenomenon. The context of the study was a first-year introductory engineering course offered at a large public research institution.

Thislandmark legislation combined and expanded upon all prior acts of rehabilitative legislation andforms the foundation of the current legal framework [5]. Notably, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973enshrined protection for those with disabilities seeking educational opportunities, guaranteeingotherwise qualified individuals are not excluded from educational opportunities at publiclyfunded institutions [5]. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was first passedtwo years later in 1975 as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) [6]. It wasreauthorized and revised to its

Theme depth was measured usinga 4-point scale adapted from Baker-Brown et al.’s conceptual/integrative complexity framework[30]. This scale assesses the sophistication of students’ engagement with ethical considerations inAI: • No mention (0): The ethical theme is completely absent from the response. • Superficial mention (1): The ethical issue is briefly acknowledged without substantive dis- cussion. For example, a student might simply state “privacy is a concern” without explaining why or how it applies to the AI system in question. • Detailed description (2): The ethical issue is
