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

The subject of this paper is on thereflections themselves, adopting the Aronson advice to “reflect on the process of teachingreflection” [12]. The two research questions for this paper are as follows: I. Do students perceive reflections as useful? II. Does the act of reflecting change throughout the design process?This is an exploratory examination of 1,278 reflections that were recorded during these two yearsof design projects.Background InformationLand Acknowledgement and Positionality StatementsIn order to understand the context in which this paper was written, we offer the

Other subjects included someprinciples of design, engineering economics, ethics, and a very short MATLAB tutorial. The CSprogramming course was devoted exclusively to teaching the fundamentals of computerprogramming, with UNIX serving as the development environment.

” requirementis delineated by several outcomes (e.g. “…professional and ethical responsibility,” “…the impactof engineering solutions in a global and societal context,” and “…life-long learning”).Behavioral–related outcomes have become increasing common in the classroom [18]. These canbe defined as an individual’s action or reaction to either an external or internal stimuli. In theengineering context, behavior is seen as the manifestation (i.e., application) of what the studenthas learned through an educational intervention. In essence, behavioral aspects are those skillsengineering students possess. A faculty member or co-op employer can readily observe thestudent’s application of knowledge that has been transmitted through the educational process.By
