broadly. (2) Do these ECE masters students feel equipped to handle the ethical challenges and dilemmasof AI technologies? As they reflect on their past and current training in engineering acrossinstitutional contexts (including but not limited to their formal engineering education and workexperiences), do these students feel as though they are receiving the training and guidance thatthey need to navigate the complex landscape of AI development and management? Or do theyfeel ill-equipped to face these ethical and professional challenges, even if they have the technicalcapabilities to engage in this work?(3) To what extent do they hold their engineering education programs accountable for(in)adequate training?

demonstrates aprevalence of studies regarding interactions in the online context. These studies have providedimportant observations of how increased interactions relate to performance for remote and/orhybrid instruction overall [12], [13], [14]. However, we believe that this emphasis on onlineinteraction over f2f interaction may not reflect the scale of research need, but the ease of datacollection for SNA regarding online interactions. Specifically, f2f interactions are a less studied,but major component of students’ interactions.To overcome these issues, our research group, familiar with SNA from small studies, conducteda large-scale (1000+ individuals) SNA study at a large, public university in the United States[15]. This study sought to extend the

Whilethe remainder of this paper focuses on this Interactive Fiction course, the authors want toacknowledge the key roles played by the instructors involved in these preceding courses.2023 - Interactive Fiction: Goals and LogisticsThe two primary goals for the Interactive Fiction course were (1) for students to learn how to usea natural language software platform, such as Inform [30], to design an interactive game in a waythat reflects the diversity of cultures and experiences encountered during the era of
from theperceived importance of empathy as a professional skill where the lowest selected importancewas ‘moderately important’. However, this difference did not reach statistical significance (p =0.080). This result is again inline with those of faculty and staff (p = 0.976) with sevenrespondents identifying teaching empathy as slight important or not at all important even though‘very important’ was the most frequent response (n = 12) [40].Figure 2. Graduate students’ identified importance of teaching empathy.This wider range of opinions on the importance of teaching empathy was reflected in surveyresponses where some saw empathy as not important to prioritize in engineering education:“This is an important skill, but not something that needs
help-seeking beliefs among underrepresentedstudents is critical; opinions about pursuing professional treatment for a mental health conditionmay be affected by gender, race, ethnicity, disability status, and socioeconomic status. Further,data was collected from first-year engineering students at the end of their first semester of collegeclasses. Therefore, the results may not reflect the students’ progress through the engineeringprogram. To address this, future directions plan to include a wider range of students from otherinstitutions and a higher proportion of students from racial and ethnic minority groups. As a result,we will be able to learn more about the mental health of marginalized student groups and theeffects of institutional

These questions askedstudents to reflect on their weaknesses in the lab learning outcomes as well as any weaknessesthey perceived in their departmental curriculum for these learning outcomes. These questionswere included to get the views of students currently in the programs, as these views may differfrom the views of faculty in the programs and alumni perceptions may be skewed by changes tocurricula over time and time since graduation.The survey design was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at University ofKentucky.

Then as new faculty were beingadded the second year, she turned over the detailed course design to them, one by one, as theywere brought on board. However, before diving in too far to the detailed course design, the firststep for the new group was to determine a set of program educational objectives (PEOs) alongwith a corresponding set of desired student outcomes (SOs) that could help the program meetthese PEOs. The PEOs were developed with input from the industry advisory board to reflect themission of the new program. Next, the founding faculty mapped the PEOs to the ABET criteriato assure full coverage

Similarly, Merriam [9] reminds that the cases need to be selectedbased on relevant criteria, which means the researcher must first determine what selectioncriteria are essential in choosing the people or sites to be studied [17]. The criteria you establishdirectly reflects the purpose of the study and guide in the identification of information-rich cases[17].Additionally, in case study research, it is important to consider two levels of sampling [9].Firstly, the researcher identifies the case, which can be a person, a program, a university, amongothers. Secondly, within each case exists numerous sources of data, so the researcher needs toselect how to better approach that

Meanwhile, greater attention should be devoted todeveloping advanced assessment techniques to detect dishonesty and academic misconduct.From the perspective of curriculum design, it also suggests investigating how future courses canbe designed to adapt to the development of such technology.AcknowledgmentThis material is based upon work supported by the Nanyang Technological University under theURECA Undergraduate Research Programme and partially supported by the AI.R-NISTH AI forSocial Good Research Grant at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

[17], we designed an authentic troubleshooting exercise with pre-set faults of varying difficulty. We started with a circuit similar to that used in [17], but addedcomponents and faults in an attempt to elicit a wider range of troubleshooting strategies.Fig. 1 depicts the correct circuit diagram. This circuit can be split into three main parts. The firststage is an operational amplifier (op amp) configured as a voltage follower, meaning the outputshould exactly track the input within the limits of operation. When functioning properly, this stagedoes nothing to the input

However, the reliability calculated for the differenttheoretical dimensions of the instrument shows some Cronbach's alpha values that are notsatisfactory (Table 1). Therefore, as the validation work on the instrument continues, resultswill only be reported for the "Developmental leadership," "Conventional-positive leadership,"and "Conventional-negative leadership" dimensions, which are also the most relevantaccording to the objectives set for the current study.

can be found in appendix II. This allows the students to reflect and reviewtheir project performance relative to the other team members. As part of the peer review, eachstudent assigns three attribute codes (such as late for meetings, effective team member) to eachmember. Once the peer reviews are received and reviewed, the faculty advisors populate themand discuss the anonymous summary with each team member. This provides the faculty advisorsthe opportunity to appraise the team dynamics which helps in addressing most team andindividual challenges. In the middle of the semester, faculty advisors complete and review witheach team their strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats (SWOT), during which time ateam midterm grade is assigned

In such processes, we start with a testbed setup, including devices and processes reflecting the lower levels (Levels 0 - sensors/actuators, Level 1 - simple control/PLC) of the Purdue Model. We progress in later phases to higher levels of the Purdue model. To further make the domain expertise accessible to students, multiple resources were developed to walk students through building, configuring and operating the testbed with details including
