, but when this expectation is added on top of employees’ usual work expectations it can cause multicultural individuals to feel overburdened. Trefry [2] noted that despite of good chances for being the most effective and productive teams, multicultural groups often become the least productive. Greater diversity among members makes communication and group dynamics expressively complex. Typical challenges of multicultural co-worker cohorts include a) team development is slower because time required to build rapport and trust is longer; b) communication among diverse people is more difficult and time-consuming; c) creating common understanding requires considerably more effort; and d) different expectations held by diverse people

seeks to provide insights into what motivates these individuals to remain employed at asingle workplace for over three years or to leave within the first year. The research utilizedsurvey responses from two cohorts of international graduate students, collected in Fall 2023(referred to as Cohort 1) and Spring 2024 (referred to as Cohort 2). A total of 50 participants (25from each cohort) completed questionnaires addressing two key topics: (a) factors that wouldencourage them to stay with the same organization for more than three years, and (b) factors thatwould lead them to leave within one year of employment. The collected data was categorizedinto different tables by counting the occurrences of each factor. This data was then plotted
Paper ID #41301Cultivating Tomorrow’s Innovators: Navigating the Landscape of High SchoolAI LiteracyMs. Erin Bosarge, University of South Alabama Erin Bosarge is a Ph.D. candidate in the Instructional Design and Development program at the University of South Alabama, focusing on integrating artificial intelligence literacy into high school curricula. As a research assistant, she has contributed to teacher training workshops and observed the implementation of AI lessons in classrooms, gaining practical insights. Her dissertation will examine student and teacher perceptions of AI and assess how the AI4K12 framework might
Engineering Education, 2025 Educators’ Perspectives on the use of Generative AI Tools in Teaching and Educational Research in EngineeringAbstractSince the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in November 2022, the integration of generative AI(genAI) into teaching and education has gained significant attention and experienced rapid growthwithin university engineering programs. This paper investigates the application of genAI inengineering education and research, focusing on the potential benefits and challenges of itsadoption. Specifically, the study: A) Analyzes how educators and students perceive and utilizegenAI and ChatGPT in engineering education; B) Explores the advantages, challenges, andlimitations associated with these technologies
measurements which then informefforts to improve processes and operations. From the basic assumption that quality is definable,measurable, and can be improved, CQM systems incorporate a series of other hypotheses andassumptions [40] and which are subtly instantiated into educational systems that follow thismodel: a) CQM systems are based on top-down management which then involve all employees in pursuit of quality; changes come from top-down to create an environment for quality. b) Production is accomplished through processes, processes have variation, and excessive variation leads to wastage and rework. CQM systems prioritize adherence to standards. Models based upon ‘conformance to requirements’ in turn imply that the

She was previously a Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Prior to her appointment at the Belfer Center, Aditi worked at the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, her work, endorsed and funded by policymakers from the NEA member countries, focused on bringing epistemologies from the humanities and social sciences to academic and practitioner nuclear engineering, thus broadening their epistemic core. At the NEA, Aditi also led the
