The educational goals of this project were to provide the students with a hands-on, service-learning experience to enhance their technical, program management, computer andcommunication skills. Another educational goal of this program was to expose the students toideas of appropriate technology, environmental responsibility and ethics, cultural diversity andcultural sensitivity. This paper will focus on the educational objectives and outcomes associatedwith this service-learning project. Details of the project including student responsibilities,reflection and methods

In addition, an ethical argument is made for the approach when contrasted with aneducational approach dominated by exposure to design software. Finally, the results of twosurveys are presented. One survey was given to undergraduate engineering students on the valueof the three components of this teaching philosophy. The second survey, very similar to the first,was given to practicing engineers attending an ASCE continuing education seminar. The surveyresults appear to support the importance of teaching theory and classical solutions in order toappropriately use engineering software.IntroductionThere is little debate that engineering software has changed the face of

Education” Today the tragedy of the war in Iraq continues to unfold with an increasingnumber of lives lost both by combatants and innocent civilians. The financial costs of theconflict are staggering as are the impact upon the health of the local environment. In fact,we have no way of judging what will be the cost to the health of the planet as a whole.Recent articles in engineering trade journals extolling the wondrous technical gadgets atour disposal have troubled me deeply, and in fact, have motivated me to question myroles both as a researcher and as an engineering educator.

It seems likely that we are at the threshold ofyet another period of unparalleled growth and change, and our engineering curricula need toprepare students not simply for the technical work they will do, but for the engineering lifestylethey will live.

Thereaction to such unanticipated consequences cannot be to pursue no new technologies, asthat would have its own unforeseen consequences. Nor is it acceptable to blindly pursuenew ideas with no reflection on their possible implications. An effective society mustfind a middle ground. It is critically important that we reflect on issues that include:stakeholders (present and future), possible consequences that are difficult to anticipate,ethical concerns, and others. Engineers are often in a unique position to address some ofthese issues.Santa Clara University has introduced a new set of courses designed to help engineersreflect on such matters so that they can make a

Whileuniversities have begun to address this trend through their academic integrity and ethics policies,students will continue to utilize AI regardless of rules and regulations that support or forbid useof AI. Educators must equip themselves and their students with information literacy and criticalthinking skills, which will help ensure that students utilize AI ethically and responsibly.Focusing on effective use, rather than forbidding use entirely, will better prepare students forsuccess academically and professionally.
