There are ongoing attempts to look directly or indirectly into theinsignificant factors in the form of AI ethics [5,6,7] and AI fairness [8,9]. For example,AIFairness360 (AIF360) software is available to detect, understand, and mitigate algorithmicbias [10]. While we highly encourage educators to explore the capability of AIF360, we use thedatasets without manipulation to compute the p-values of the features.We want the reader to know that the purpose of this paper is neither to present descriptive norpredictive analyses of the datasets used

There is growing evidence that studentmotivation [8] and engagement [9] play a critical role in learning [10] to the extent that studentengagement has been used as a proxy for quality of learning [11]. Hence, visions for active learningapproaches aimed at enhancing engagement need to be explored for higher education [12-13].Research in the area of game-based learning suggests that educational games are effective infacilitating learning processes and enhancing knowledge transfer.

This will provide them with thenecessary skills to responsibly test and secure computer systems. By emphasizing the importance ofethical behavior in cybersecurity, we can help to create a culture of trust, integrity, and responsibility inthe field. This will benefit individual students and contribute to a more secure and stable digitallandscape for all users[7, 26].2.

While providing challenging engineering problems,all capstone design courses address basic principles of engineering design, teamwork, technicalcommunications, ethics, and professionalism. In this paper, we will discuss how a few simpledesign challenges have been used in three capstone design courses to practice and applyengineering design principles and problem solving skills. These challenges are relativelyinexpensive to implement and could be done in teams or individually. The competitive aspectsof the challenges can further motivate students. The design challenge goals can be tailored tofocus on specific aspects of design practice or skills, such as

That is, why is it easy forengineers to have their perspectives so narrowed that important aspects of design problems areoverlooked? Dams that disrupt the ecological balance of a region, VCRs that are too difficult forthe average person to program, and the addressing of age old medical problems with geneticengineering solutions that raise even greater ethical problems are just three kinds of designfailures that result from what has been called the narrowness tendency in design (Van Poolen,1987, p. 785

It should recognize that both ethical management of technology and successful marketing of new technology require communicating effectively with users and others-mostly non- expert-who are affected by the technology in question. For example, obtaining informed consent from those exposed to technology-related risks and winning acceptance for new technology require communicating with people who are not experts on the technology in question

In this program, students work collaboratively on projects that addresssustainable development challenges, requiring them to apply interdisciplinary solutions andconsider ethical and societal impacts. Such projects exemplify how PBL prepares students tobecome well-rounded engineers capable of tackling the multifaceted challenges of the 21stcentury. The EPS approach demonstrates the tangible benefits of PBL in fostering criticalthinking, problem-solving skills, and an awareness of sustainability in engineering practice [7].
