perform lab experiments without the need to go to a physical lab. This has opened a door forteaching advanced concepts with the help of computer programs – some of these experiments areeither prohibitively expensive to perform in an academic setting or technically infeasible withoutthe full industrial infrastructure. For example, Du Val and He used state-of-the-art aircraftmodeling and simulation tools for rotorcraft design, analysis, test, and full-flight simulationapplications [18]. They also developed Graphical User Interfaces that provide user-friendlyoperation. Likewise, Jasti et al.’s study showed that student performance in the application,analysis, synthesis, and evaluation learning levels improved compared to those not provided in

new entrants.Ethical Challenges in Technology AdoptionEthical failures concerns are often raised after technological failures, but they can equally ariseafter technological triumphs. The digital transformation of society builds on a succession oftechnological triumphs by engineers in computing, communications, artificial intelligence etc.,but exposes ethical concerns in areas such as privacy, social equity, exacerbated powerconcentration etc. Rapidly scaling technology adoption can also lead to a period of rapid job lossthrough automation as the economic impact of the technology adoption ripples through thebroader economy. Product design choices can also impact the user throughout the productlifecycle with constraints on the user’s rights to
