To address theseurgent concerns in ethic use of generative AI, many universities have developed theirguidelines for students and staff on how to use these AI tools in the teaching and learningscenarios [10], [11]. However, from a student's perspective, these guidelines may be toogeneral or condensed, making it difficult for them to relate the terms to real-world practices.While the guidelines at the Inno Wing align with those of other universities, covering aspectssuch as AI tool limitations, data privacy, intellectual property, and responsible

The problem seems to resonate on the motives not the practice, hence, it is veryimportant to quantify sustainability and show measurable merits that encourage professionals toadhere to sustainability. Textbook pedagogy succeeds in explaining the procedure but failed toprovoke the student’s interest, therefore, a new methodology is needed to teach sustainability tofreshmen engineering students by means of interactive and collaborative approaches.

across cultures and the fact that theirprofessional ethics education has mainly been based on prevailing conditions in their nativesociocultural context.In order to address this tension, some philosophers and engineering educators have recentlywritten scholarly articles and piloted pedagogical programs to explore ways to improve students’ethical competency in global context. Unfortunately, there remains little agreement regardingwhat counts as global ethical competency, much less how to cultivate it among students. Further,scholars often fail to clearly articulate and communicate their foundational positions. The goal ofthis paper is to bring greater clarity to the field by conceptualizing and synthesizing some of themost fundamental and

, ABET accreditation standards now require programs to demonstrate that students haveachieved outcomes related to professional and ethical responsibility, as well as the ability toconsider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societalcontexts [4].To address these calls and mandates, universities across the US have tried to integrate ethics intotheir courses and curricula. However, longstanding debates persist on not only how to developethically and socially responsible engineers, but also what falls within the scope of social andethical responsibilities. For example, what roles do professional codes of conduct play inengineering practice [5]? To what extent should engineers concern themselves with micro

In this study, upper-level students mentorswere incorporated into the class through in-person and online engagement. Using pre- and post-course surveys, complemented by focus group discussions, Kunberger determined that near-peermentoring resulted in “students [gaining] a better sense of place within engineering over thecourse of the semester” [8].Many existing mentorship programs are focused on benefitting the mentee and the opportunitiesfor mutual growth for both mentor and mentee are missed.
