Therefore, it is critical for educators todevelop more effective approaches for teaching students engineering ethics.Traditional approaches to engineering ethics education have been largely limited to the use ofcodes of ethics of engineering societies and regulatory boards and the so-called “disaster cases”as case studies 3 . Engineering ethics has been expressed primarily in rules, and these rules areprimarily negative or prohibitive in nature. However, the use of rules is limiting. 1) Rules cannotadequately account for the place of discretion, judgment, and background knowledge in meetingsome professional obligations. 2) This rule-based approach, along with a focus on technicalethics

in engineering education. A digital twin is a detailed virtualmodel of a physical system, constantly updated using real-time data, advanced computing, and visualmodeling [1]. Unlike static models, digital twins allow two-way interaction between the physical anddigital worlds. This makes it possible to run simulations, monitor systems in real time, and predict futureperformance. For instance, a mechanical engineering student could use a digital twin to test how stressaffects a structure, while an electrical engineering student might explore how circuits behave underdifferent loads. These examples show how digital twins can make complex engineering principles easierto understand and apply. Using digital twins in classrooms has the

However, our research also identifies transformative momentswhere programs recognized and built upon students' cultural wealth, suggesting pathways forinstitutional change.
