Hallmarks of these changes will hopefully benot only increased invention but also the implementation of that invention, or innovation.Successful innovation requires leadership, and, in perhaps a biased view, that leadership shouldcome from engineers whom have the technical insight and ethical courage to solve the grandchallenges facing this planet for the benefit of all her inhabitants. We can no longer leave ourfate entirely in the hands of those that are often non-technically educated. Engineers must takeleadership roles

The catalog, during these years, has amounted to over 200 different courses.Due to its own market research, the Department itself has created courses which range fromcommunications, to applied computer software; from reengineering to the Japanese language;from ethics to computer-aided education; from GPS to energy savings. And soon it becameevident that professors, participating as “students”, had many deficiencies in their professionalstraining, such as:1. a lack of appropriate oral and writing skills;2. a very poor orthography, unacceptable in professionals;3. a very poor vocabulary, specially in the humanities area; and4. a very poor and insufficient preparation, for historical, philosophical

crucialmechanism by which U.S. engineering education settings have grappled with unwanted politicalsensibilities is through silencing. There is an enduring sense that rigorous, respectableengineering training, as well as engineering in action, from the technical classroom, at the labbench, or on the factory floor must exclude the subjectivities we know as “politics.” This isdespite the concession by some that value systems known as “ethics” or “rigor” may (must) bebolstered [26], [27]. Across many technical subdisciplines, so-named ethics and other liabilitysystems are today seen to represent the universe of Engineers’ moral responsibilities in itsentirety. We are prompted to ask, then: How precisely does such apparent depoliticization ofEngineering

By uploading nameless lab reports to a LLM through an APIinterface, the system efficiently identifies and highlights segments that align closely with specificrubric items.

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
