Theprimary goal is to be inclusive of different philosophies and ways of knowing, as this cansignificantly contribute to the development of ethical studies. Additionally, this study aims tovalidate different ways of knowing in Western literature by including research and voices fromscholars with different epistemological views about the world. In this paper, seven African IKStheories often used in work cited by African scholars are discussed in terms of how theirapplication can benefit contemporary AI ethics research and education practices.

. 2IntroductionThe demand for energy consumption in the world is growing at an annual rate of close to 2% peryear ( Welker, A., et al., 2022) ) and that translates to about 3,598 Twh in 2022. In the UnitedStates (US), the energy consumption growth rate is 2.6% which translates to about 106 Gwh in2022 (EIA, US Electricity Overview, 2023). The US energy generation sources in 2022 (USPrimary Energy Source, 2022) are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 US Energy Source Distribution (Source EIA)Fossil fuels (Petroleum, Natural Gas, and coal) make up 78.8% of the total energy source in theUS. Petroleum is the largest source and solar is the lowest. Renewable sources add up to 13.1%(Solar at 1.9%). It has been a fact that these non-renewable sources

The publication called upon engineeringeducators to develop students’ performance skills, including teamwork competencies, to augmenttheir technical education. Since then, the engineering education community has engaged in avigorous discussion regarding the development of these skills, resulting in various pedagogiesand approaches being developed and tested. In addition to research, universities have installedleadership development programs either in or adjacent to their engineering programs [2].However, this sudden

Engineering designers use a non-linear, iterativeprocess to understand users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems, and create innovativesolutions [3]. At a specific level, design has been described as an evidence-based decision-making process [e.g., 4], however greater proficiency as a designers yields a perspective ofdesign as freedom when problem-solving, given its open-ended nature [5].What type of
