pm. The data collection and analysis for this research was consideredexempt by the school’s institutional review board, and all necessary protocols were followed forstudent data protections.Theoretical Framework: This activity is inspired by Nel Nodding’s theory of Ethics of Carewhere it is suggested that caring is a universal human attribute and caring is ethically basic tohumans [14]. This theory supports the message that educators are responsible for caring for theirstudents and believing in their success outside of the classroom [15]. The theory can beextended to say that the goal of an engineering educator is to ensure that engineering students areable to leave the degree program as not only successful engineers but also as successful

more common in educational institutions,carefully considering the ethical issues they can cause is imperative. Educators must ensure thatAI-driven assessments are fair and unbiased, aligning with their institution’s educational valuesand ethical standards. Evaluating data quality, algorithmic transparency, and bias reduction arecritical factors in improving ethical AI integration in EE education.The successful integration of AI in EE education requires comprehensive training of educators. Itis essential for educators to not only have AI literacy but also the skills and ability to utilize AItools effectively. Educators must be able to identify and select appropriate AI tools for varyingeducational objectives. They also need to guide students in

For example, students attend a workshop titled “ActingEthically.” Through framing the session with the example of the 2007 I-35W MN BridgeCollapse, students are able to use a “real-life” example of a local catastrophe to learn theprinciples of ethics.
