class meetings.However, the impact of these changes in student learning and career trajectories in emerging fieldsis still unknown. At the same time, the demand for graduates with solid technical and digital skillshas continued to grow tremendously, including in the business, nursing, and accounting sectors.These trends require universities to accelerate their efforts to enhance the education, awareness,training, access, equipment, nursing, accounting sectors, and student support to meet the nation'sexpanding digital infrastructure and security needs.Secondly, two equally critical and related challenges are to increase the student pipeline andimprove the pathway between the State Colleges and universities. In doing so, post
” dimension mainly includes the construction strategy and implementation plan ofengineering ethics education that integrates inclusive innovation. The “output” dimension isexpressed in the cultivation of engineering talents with ethical awareness and practical abilityto “benefit human society” and to promote “inclusive development” in a certain region. Intheory, the “output” of engineering students is closely related to the connotation of inclusiveinnovation, that is, it closely revolves around “knowledge creation” and “productinnovation”.3.2 An Inclusive Innovation Informed Ethics Based Case Study – MIT D-LabGlobal participation is an essential part of MIT's commitment to solving world problems andimproving human life.

For example, Franquesa [42], who obtained a Bachelor’sdegree in computer science engineering and a Master’s degree in sustainability, implementedservice-learning activities where students fixed and updated old (and sometimes broken)computers for local communities; Holloway [43], who was the department chair in Electrical andComputer Engineering and the director of an institute bringing policy-side perspectives on powerand energy, offered a class on global energy issues; and Bielefeldt [44], who holds a PhD in civilengineering and is interested in sustainability and social responsibility in engineering, employedtwo case studies consisting of a controversial local water supply project and Hurricane
the Trolley Problem (e.g.,Geisslinger, Poszler, Betz, Lütge, &Lienkamp (2021)) followed by a discussion about self-driving cars. A class activity, adapted fromThe Moral Machine experiment (Awad et al., 2018) presented students with several dilemmaswhere a self-driving car has only two options, both would result in persons or animals beingharmed or killed. Students submitted their choices individually and then discussed the results ingroups followed by a whole class discussion. The students then were introduced to the Ethics ofConnected and Automated Vehicles: Recommendations on road safety, privacy, fairness,explainability and responsibility, published by the Publication Office of the European Union, toprovide further information
statementjustifying their interest in a particular pathway program as well as their expected learningoutcomes. Finally, each student was required to get a recommendation letter from a teacher athis or her high school. The teacher was asked to evaluate the student on his/her ability to solveproblems, dedication and sense of responsibility, mathematics and science background, level ofcreativity, level of participation in class discussions, motivation as well as leadership skills. Eachapplication was evaluated by responsible faculty member and based on their recommendationstudents were admitted to the pathway.Innovation and Entrepreneurship PathwayHistorically, entrepreneurship and innovation have been the principal sources of economicgrowth, technological
materials, the nuclear engineering program narrowly taughtethics as safety and intellectual integrity in required courses to meet the accreditationrequirements. This perspective was also framed as programs having an approach of teachingethics for “bean counting” (Bart) and to “check that box” (Lawrence). Lawrence expanded thiscomment in noting, they [the college of engineering] make a case that they're doing something that, for better or worse, has often accepted the section of the professionalization class as ethics, especially given some compliance model in place.This theme pointed to programs integrating ethics for the purpose of accreditation and isolatingthe part of the curriculum in which it is taught to demonstrate compliance.

To assign students to dointernships may cause the result that the university benefits outweigh the enterprises’benefits, and this will reduce the company's enthusiasm. As a remedy, the enterprisecan try to compose a class of employees to receive free theoretical trainings fromuniversities to balance both sides of costs and benefits. 18Suggestions for government

For example, a history professor mayseek Thomas Edison’s first patent to display to a class or use in a publication.Undergraduates tend to be light users of patent and trademark information.

2020, theWorld Bank estimated that girls under the age of 15 represented almost 42% of the Sub -SaharanAfrican female population [3]. This difference is even more staggering while looking at STEMeducation in rural areas. For example, in Senegal, like in many parts of the world, biased socialbeliefs argue that mathematical sciences and physics are a mark of excellence, which are notmade for girls [4]. Girls with lower grades in their scientific classes will often be forced to switchfrom their original STEM choice to literary fields because it is considered more fitting to women[5]. Considering that the global market is becoming increasingly more STEM oriented all overthe world, encouraging more Sub-Saharan girls to pursue STEM education could
