dispositions (reciprocity, community orientation) 3. design propositions that embed trust “by construction” in AI artefacts; and 4. a research agenda for formal verification, large-scale simulation, and cross-cultural validation.By positioning PD reasoning at the heart of AI literacy, we shift pedagogy from ethics byexhortation to trust by design, equipping the next generation of developers to build AIsystems that cooperate reliably with both humans and machines. 2. Conceptual Background 2.1 Trust in AI DevelopmentWe distinguish two mutually reinforcing facets of trust: • Cognitive trust—reasoned beliefs about an agent’s competence, integrity, and predictability (McAllister, 1995). Developers foster it through

thecontext of international STEM graduates who is crucial in addressing workforce shortages in theU.S. While existing literature has explored general trends in Gen Z employment behaviors, thereis limited research focusing on international graduate students in STEM fields, especially thosefrom Asia and India, who contribute significantly to the U.S. economy. Gen Z faces severalbarriers in finding jobs that align with their skills and aspirations. However, their specificemployment preferences and retention factors remain underexplored. This study investigates theemployment priorities of international graduate students from a U.S. regional university in theMidwest, focusing on factors that will keep them in or chase them from an organization. Thestudy

creativity is essential for addressingcomplex modern problems. The discussion includes the contributions of E. Paul Torrance, a pioneer increativity research, whose work emphasizes that creativity can be nurtured and developed in students.Relevant educational frameworks are briefly reviewed. Drawing on their experience in teaching courseslike Creative (Product) Design and Capstone Design, the authors outline strategies for fostering creativitywithin engineering education. These strategies include collaborative reasoning, project-based learning, andthe application of creative tools such as brainstorming and ideation notebooks. While many engineeringschools have embraced this approach, others must adopt it to prepare students for the challenges of

Fourth Humanistic studies which he felt was the field“that offered the greatest opportunity for effective changes in current practice, because lackof good English, of business sense, and of understanding men are most frequently cited bypractising engineers as points of weakness in the graduates of the schools”This view was supported by a substantial research project conducted in collaboration with adistinguished

learning pedagogies ofproblem-based and project-based learning (PPBL). Using PPBL as a teaching and learning strategyfacilitates cooperative learning, critical thinking, systemic reasoning, creative approach, andsocietal awareness, which are the core values of sustainability. However, translating this into aworking curriculum is quite complex, and raises implementation issues such as physicalarrangements for an active learning environment, changes in the assessment and grading system,providing both teachers and students with at least rudimentary knowledge of PPBL methods,achieving institutional support, etc. Another issue is the program-level decision of having a fulldedicated course on sustainable engineering, or introducing modules on

that are embedded in how students train in the field and practice of nuclear engineering.We present here an analysis of embedded value systems in core textbooks typically used inundergraduate and graduate nuclear engineering studies in the US, specifically looking at what isconsidered essential to being a nuclear engineer. Key themes discussed are engineering asproblem solving, the relevance of multidisciplinarity, and the authoritative nature of knowledge.The analysis considers the context in which the textbooks were written and how the embeddedworldview found in the textbook shapes the current landscape of nuclear engineering education,research, and practice. We analyze what nuclear engineering students are implicitly taught abouttheir roles
