(2) Do they feel equipped to handle the challenges of these technologies and respondethically when faced with difficult situations? (3) Do they hold their engineering educatorsaccountable for training them in ethical concerns around AI?We find that although some engineering master’s students see exciting possibilities of AI, mostare deeply concerned about the ethical and public welfare issues that

In a recent survey of U.S. employers spanning a large number of fields, it was foundthat school training did not always match the most pressing needs of the workplace. From 4-yearcolleges, 17.4% of respondents rated the preparation level of new entrants as deficient [2].However, with the recent concern of a lack of sufficient engineers to provide the United Stateswith the innovation and scientific knowledge that will allow it to keep its current globaleconomic position [3], this matter takes on even greater importance in the electrical engineeringfield.

Bielefeldt interviewed 1,268faculty who embed ethics and societal impact issues in their classes and found that 27% of thesurveyed faculty integrate social justice/poverty topics into their teaching [8]. The facultyinterviewed believed that teaching social justice topics was insufficient in their programs,although no broad consensus exists on what level would be sufficient.In general, the literature demonstrate that two primary approaches have been used to integratesocial justice into the engineering curricula: one approach dedicates a single course that focuseson teaching engineering ethics

So, that is what keeps me going."To deal with students who scored lower in mathematics in high school and standard tests, theSchool of Engineering (SOE) at UNM requires students to enroll in remedial math coursesbefore entering the engineering curricula. The basic purpose of these courses is to improvestudents’ mathematical and problem-solving skills. Those teaching these and other coursesshould be trained in new teaching techniques and minority students’ issues. Generally, thefaculty is aware of improving instruction through new approaches like problem-based learning,but comparatively few follow through to implement changes.

One of the main challenges for graduate students will be to integrate ideas andcommunicate their learning with collaborators around the globe. However, the students cannotdo this alone; therefore, there is a need for deans and faculty at institutions to be involved in thisprocess.
