It is important to carefully consider the ethical implications of using AI-generated content, particularly in academic and professional settings, where the boundarybetween AI assistance and plagiarism could become less clear. Additionally, the potential misuseof personal information and data security concerns related to AI writing tools should bethoroughly examined. It's worth noting that AI tools may encounter challenges in understandingcomplex contexts, cultural references, and emotional subtleties, potentially leading tomisinterpretations in the generated content.The ”AI Writing Tools” used for the analysis are listed in Table 1

ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT: A Course for SurvivalMarcus O. Durham, PhD, PE, Robert A. Durham, PE, PhD candidate 2004, Rosemary Durham University of Tulsa / D2 Tech Solutions / THEWAY Corp.Abstract: Engineering survival and success depends on many skills in addition to technicalexcellence. The class looks at topics from professionalism to ethics, from presentation to peopleskills, from project management to international cultures. These issues are more important thanever in an engineering environment that is very dynamic and involves frequent transitionsbetween employers and job functions. Numerous assessments of personality styles are addressedalong with needs and motivation assessments. Because of the changing

This study aims to identify key challenges,such as potential cheating and diminished learning outcomes, while also exploring how AI canbe ethically integrated into computer science education. The proposed findings will guide theredesign of assessments to mitigate risks while harnessing AI's benefits, ultimately providingeducators with a framework to improve student assessment in an AI-enhanced academicenvironment.KeywordsArtificial Intelligence, AI-Assisted Learning, ChatGPT, Computational Thinking, ComputerScience Education, Learning Outcomes, Academic Integrity, Critical Thinking, AssessmentDesign, Introductory Programming

In 2016, Dr. Leydens won the Exemplar in Engineering Ethics Education Award from the Na- tional Academy of Engineering, along with CSM colleagues Juan C.

In 2017, he and two co-authors won the Best Paper Award in the Minorities in Engineering Division at the American Society for Engineering Education annual conference. Dr. Leydens’ recent research, with co-author Juan C.

The first edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21 st Century 1 (BOK1) was released in January 2004. Based on various inputs, a second edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21 st Century 2 (BOK2) was developed and released in February 2008. The BOK1 has already impacted accreditation criteria and civil engineering curricula. The BOK2, while being more recent and not yet addressed within accreditation criteria, is motivating additional change in some civil engineering curricula

While many states have other additional pathways to engineering licensure for those not having an EAC/ABET degree (commonly also requiring additional years of engineering experience), the NCEES Model Law does not provide for any alternative formal educational path other than being a “graduate of an engineering of 4 years or
the ability to work together while solving an open-ended designproblem, and being able to overcome any obstacles that arise. These obstacles involve differingwork ethics, personalities, and communication styles. Inevitably, these differences can lead toconflict, and a need to resolve disagreements within the team. These ever-present emotionalaspects to working in a team are found not only in student projects, but also on the projects theywill be working on once they graduate. Finding the skills as a student to successfully navigatethe myriad of issues that may arise when working with others, sets student up for success in theirengineering careers after graduation, as shown by Jones (1996) [1] and Seat et al. (1996) [2].Often students who are

The interdisciplinary team was comprisedof twelve faculty members across the College of Engineering, the School of InternationalAffairs, Penn State Law and the LPE director. The team worked on MELP’s curricular structurebetween January and March 2020, including adopting a systems thinking approach as theframework for students to understand law and policy as systems within systems.The context of engineering is one dominated by systems and the
of EEP non-participants also shared criticism ofentrepreneurship and EEPs, moving beyond disinterest into specific concerns aboutentrepreneurial spaces. These women STEM academics described critiques or concerns about thepractices of entrepreneurship conflicting with their personal ethics and/or stances that academiashould not be about making money. For example, Dr. Madani shared: “I just want to be on the record as saying I am flat-out straight against entrepreneurship because as a scientist, I don’t want our students to grow up thinking, “I’m making this to sell it.” I am 100% supportive of entrepreneurship mindset” (Madani Interview, 04/29/2021)Dr. Madani’s exemplar animates the challenges some women STEM faculty

constructionof the new knowledge in the current subject. An attempt is made in this paper to map some of theengineering courses using the concept mapping tool Cmap [2].Concept map developmentIdentifying a focus question is paramount in the construction of the concept maps [1]. For mostof the engineering courses, the focus question can be ‘how to design in engineering ’? The nextstep is to identify a few concepts that are pertinent to the question. In engineering design, we usemath and science to find solutions for engineering problems. But in the process of arriving atsolutions to problems, we should be conscious and consider questions of ethics, safety, empathy,human interface, and other values. The above values are informed, for the most part, by
