Thisintroduces uncertainties, including issues regarding ethics, accessibility, and algorithmic bias [2],[4]. There are also concerns around the lag between the rapidly growing uses of GenAI tools andthe current policies regarding their uses in engineering education [5], [6].In addition to ChatGPT, there have been other GenAI and large language model (LLMs) basedtools, with widespread uses for students, educators, and researchers in engineering education [2],[3]. This has created opportunities for innovation within engineering education along withchallenges of using them in learning environments [3]. Due to the recent

engineering suggest thatstudents should be cognizant of and prepared to act upon these issues concerningmacroethics—the social responsibility of the engineering profession [1]. For example, ABETStudent Outcome 2 notes that students must develop an understanding of engineering designincluding “consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,environmental, and economic factors.” [2]. Additionally, the American Institute for Aeronauticsand Astronautics’ Code of Ethics says that engineers are expected to “hold paramount the safety,health, and welfare of the public in the performance of their duties” [3].

. IntroductionGenerative AI (GenAI) is reshaping education, challenging educators to reconsider what theyteach, how they teach, and how they engage and assess student learning in the classroom. Asstudents are already using these tools in their academic work at a higher rate than we expect [1],taking a proactive and forward-thinking approach to integrating GenAI into engineeringeducation is becoming increasingly important. Such an approach will not only equip studentswith the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs but also encourage them to explore itslimitations and ethical and professional implications.In this case study, the authors explore the integration of two GenAI-based writing assignmentsinto a senior-level design course.

the follow-up question, why do engineers solve problems?is not as frequently communicated. Engineers solve problems for the benefit of society. Evidencefor this role is seen within the National Society of Professional Engineer’s code of ethicscannons and rules of practice, the first of which is “Engineers shall hold paramount the safety,health, and welfare of the public [1].” While not every engineer will be providing individualizedproblem solutions, i.e. care, the discipline of engineering is intended to provide solutions andcare to society. Engineers are societal caregivers. The problems engineers are called on to solve, are complex, not just from anintellectually rigorous perspective, but also from the myriad of societal, ethical

If engineers do not followthese guidelines or topics and the result is a failure that causes loss of property and/or life, the legalsystem is always ready to hold engineers accountable. In addition to the external accountability thatexists for engineers, there is also an internal, personal accountability that exists. Internalizing theprofessional code of ethics is a start.

Using these concepts in the classroomcan pull students into deep conversations about ethics and responsibility and emphasize the needfor more far-reaching visions of technical communication and community engagement, likethose explored in recent work on Socially Responsible Engineering [5].In this paper, we focus particularly on what we call systems theories and material vibrancy andenchantment theories. For each of these, we offer a synopsis of several key insights, texts, andimplications. Then, we show the utility of the approach in question to advance importantpedagogical goals related to ethics and
