students and instructors in this context can be important to student buy-in andengagement with the course concepts.One strategy for addressing this concern within our second year Engineering Communicationcourse for civil engineering students has been to tie all written assignments to their technicalcourses. The two written assignments and one oral presentation are integrated with either anIntroduction to Civl Engineering or an Engineering Ecology course, forcing students to applyprinciples from both technical and communication courses in their documents.This paper, however, explores the attempt to address these challenges in another manner: bytaking advantage of the time between classes to engage in activities that play with civilengineering’s

Ethics 101 Marilyn A. Dyrud Oregon Institute of TechnologyIntroductionEthics training, now somewhat formalized as ABET EAC criterion 3f and TAC criterion2i, is by necessity becoming a more integral part of engineering and technology curricula,whether via stand-alone ethics courses or inclusion in technical courses and programs.Instructors new to the field, however, may find themselves in a quandary as to coursecontent and methodology; ethics is an enormous and ancient field of study, and tailoringphilosophical content to fit a technical class poses a challenge. Pedagogy in philosophy,too, varies a great deal and tends to be

the mechanicaleffects of weapons as well as discusses the non-mechanical effects of the weapon which include thepervasive social, political, economic, and environmental considerations.This paper analyzes this Persian Gold case study experience based on student responses and facultyfeedback. The conclusion of this paper seeks to answer whether or not an industry partnership for casestudies supports ABET EAC student outcome (h). This paper argues that engineers can broaden theirperspective and attain some fundamental professional knowledge and skill by working oninterdisciplinary teams in industry-led case studies. This, in turn, will augment the understanding of howengineering solutions impact a multitude of non-technical contexts.THEORETICAL

management and infrastructure resilience. This paper exploreshow generative AI can be leveraged by engineering educators to teach students advancedtechniques for wildfire prediction and geospatial analysis. Focusing on the use of generative AIin the classroom, the methodology demonstrates how students can engage with platforms likeGoogle Earth Engine to access and analyze satellite imagery and environmental datasets, such asMODIS Active Fire Detections and LANDSAT/Sentinel Burn Severity. By integrating generativeAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini), educators can guide students through the process ofautomating code generation for wildfire location mapping, enhancing their problem-solvingskills and technical competence.
