(environmental, economic, andsocial), their most important constituents, and the interactions among them [3]. Environmentalfactors include the use of natural resources, pollution prevention, biodiversity, and ecologicalhealth. Standards of living, provisions for education and jobs, and equal opportunities for allsectors of society comprise the social aspects. Economic considerations are drivers for growth,profit, cost reduction, and investments in research and development. One interaction leads to socio-economic concerns such as business ethics, fair trade, and workers’ benefits. The intersection ofeconomic and environmental spheres generates issues like higher energy efficiency, developmentof renewable fuels and green technologies, etc. At the social

attitude to equip students for the evolving technology worldin their future professions. This should include generative AI training to prepare students for thegrowing reliance on such technologies in the workplace, allowing future engineers to effectivelyharness generative AI tools to boost productivity and output quality.There is some concern about the availability of generative AI tools and that students mightmisuse it, for example, to cheat. The term Algiarism is new and means plagiarism usinggenerative AI tools [4]. New software tools claiming to detect the use of AI tools in a submissionare not currently reliable. For example, ZeroGPT marked the text of the United StatesConstitution as “92.15% AI/GPT generated” [5]. Even a school submission

discussing these issues [1]. 4. Create case studies. Consider what pedagogical approaches may be effective to achieve the envisioned competencies and informed decision making. Case studies may be a productive direction in which to begin. It could be useful to examine what case studies might be suitable for teaching in this area [1]. 5. Develop new dissemination approaches. Developing literature accessible to both the public and educators should be a priority. There is a need for more widespread promotion of the division’s work. Materials that empower individuals to make more informed decisions on technological issues should be disseminated widely. The division should consider a working group to examine

started with some background in Neuroscience and Michael Gazzaniga’s book,“Human: The Science Behind What Makes Us Unique”. Next, we read the early philosophicalfoundations of Peter Singer in “Animal Liberation”. We then considered a more full-blownexploration in the theological and philosophical history of understandings of personhood with thebroad survey work by Joseph Torchia. Finally, we discussed the realms of speculative fictionand the hopes and concerns expressed by computer scientists and others in the compilation of“What to Think About Machines that Think”. Numerous additional readings are easy to find ingeneral circulation magazines such as The New Yorker or The Atlantic. There is more thanample material for reading, discussion

academic enterprises the tendency to value original individual contributions recognized by other experts in the field much more highly than practical significance. This tendency is at odds with the reality that matters of public concern (like education and the development and implementation of new technical capability) are inherently interdisciplinary. As one scholar of interdisciplinarity expresses it, interdisciplinarity arises when we try to connect academic expertise to public concerns [16].5. Practitioners as students of contemporary issues. Tozer and Butts emphasize that the early proponents of social foundations of education “Came to believe that all teachers should become students of the issues of contemporary society and

framework was informed by critical analysis of both the literature review andsurvey data. The scoping literature review underscored a significant gap in readilyunderstandable and accessible information concerning technology-life balance. Furthermore, thesurvey and interview findings highlighted a challenge within engineering education, which isthat most students struggle to maintain equilibrium between academic demands and personalcommitments. These challenges may be further exacerbated by the technological demands of themodern engineering classroom. While we recognize that this is a multifaceted issue, the lack ofaccessible information on technology and technology-life balance emerges as a significantobstacle according to both students and

built in tointernal processes in higher education through electives or offering multiple appropriate pathways to adegree [30]. Another issue is that to be effective higher education needs to respond to changes in society,models focused on control by management may not be able to respond sufficiently rapidly [28].Other authors have noted that since implementing effective CQM methods requires an organization-widecultural change it can 1) be difficult to implement in higher education [31] and 2) changing universitycultures to emphasize pragmatic outcomes and relativism can be in conflict with disciplinary ideologies[32]. Another cultural mismatch is the autonomy of individual faculty; CQM is predominately a teameffort. The value placed on autonomy

We note that several textbooks were unintentionally not included in this analysis andshould be included in further studies. These include [28], [29], [30]. When faculty teach courses,textbooks are not always available, thus a compilation of course notes and journal articles iscreated. Such compilations are sometimes the basis of new books that are written, thus out of thenecessity of teaching courses and evolving the curriculum. Although there exists no primarytextbook or set of books that is exhaustive of nuclear engineering curricula, an analysis of someof the nuclear engineering textbooks that are available today offers a starting point for howknowledge
