Concurrently, AI'spotential to automate current "nonroutine" jobs highlights the importance of AI education inpreparing students for a dynamic labor market. As of early 2024, the skill most in demand in jobpostings was artificial intelligence (0.56%), followed by machine learning (0.5%) [9]. In thiscontext, AI literacy is essential, equipping students to harness AI to improve efficiency andproductivity in their future careers [10], [11].Additionally, higher education must align current pedagogical practices with the changing waysof thinking, learning, and interacting resulting from people’s regular use of AI in

For example, scholars have found that some first yearengineering students exhibit lower moral disengagement scores compared to non-engineeringstudents using the same instrument [5]. Likewise, longitudinal surveys have suggested thatengineering students are less interested in public welfare and societal impacts of their work at theend of their undergraduate career compared to the beginning [6], [7].

Of course, these are foundationalfor competency as an engineer, but as described in a report published by the National Academies ofEngineering, new engineering graduates lacked the skills to succeed professionally [1]. Though these newgraduates were technically capable, they struggled with communication, teamwork, and othernontechnical expectations of the career field that grew through the 1980s. In response to these challenges,the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) with support from various stakeholdersdeveloped

Consequently, the need toengage K-12 students in authentic engineering practices is well recognized [3,4]. However,barriers to teaching engineering effectively in K-12 classrooms still exist.
