process that integrates PLM tools can be challenging. Mainly, engineering studentsare not taught how to efficiently use these PLM tools to assist in the design process. The purposeof this research is to identify a common PLM software system used in industry and teach studentshow to use PLM resources in an undergraduate research design. Product lifecycle management isa virtual thread for an enterprise’s workflow, ideally integrating all business functions to increasethe efficiency of a company’s operations [1]. At its core, PLM is a product management systemthat incorporates a business’ entire product portfolio into a central operating system, to improveperformance by developing efficient intermediate processes, as shown in Figure 1

. This paperinvites the reader into a general discussion about the ethical implications of using AItechnologies within the context of an undergraduate engineering classroom. While AI presentstransformative opportunities for enhancing learning, it also raises significant ethical dilemmasregarding equity, privacy, and academic integrity. Engineering educators share the responsibilityto teach students about how innovations, including AI, should reduce the risk of bias. At thesame time, faculty often lack institutional resources to develop pertinent pedagogical skills fordiscussing AI ethics with students, colleagues, and other communities. There is no nationwideconsensus on how these tools should be used in higher education. Scholars like Ethan
