harmand taking extensive steps to mitigate such harms. Like other sectors, education has also not been immune to ChatGPT, as it has found itsway into classrooms at all levels. This usage has brought about a strong debate on whether itshould at all be permitted in classrooms, with some educators being of the opinion that ChatGPTbrings ethical concerns. One major concern is in the context of academic integrity andplagiarism, where students can ask assignment or homework questions of ChatGPT andcopy-paste the output while claiming it as original work (e.g., [37], [38]). ChatGPT usage canthus stunt student learning as it offers up the answers without demanding any intellectual labor,serving as a crutch that can be used across different courses

. Students will receive personal attention, with an emphasis on ethics, written andoral communication, and interpersonal skills for which liberal arts programs are well known.These are traits that employers seek when hiring engineers. For example, Steve Jobs stated7 in2011, “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married withliberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing, andnowhere is that more true than in these post-PC devices.” Indeed, a recent article8 in theChronicle of Higher Education outlines the significant benefits of pursing an engineering degreeat a liberal arts college. Thus, the BC Engineering Model, which is currently proving to beextremely successful in
can be used in teaching,the cases discussed here being chosen purely as examples.As already mentioned, the discussion of engineering disasters in the teaching of engineeringethics is quite common and aerospace related examples are quite widely used for this purpose,common examples being the Hindenburg airship crash, the de Havilland Comet crashes 9, theDC10 cargo door problems and the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. Because these cases havebeen quite widely discussed in the context of engineering ethics they will not be considered here.Serious commercial aircraft crashes seldom have a single cause but the crashes are commonlyassociated with their dominant cause. Examples of some commonly stated dominant causes are: • Poor maintenance

traditional boundaries, integrate diverse perspectives, and work towardscreating innovative solutions that address the pressing needs of society [16]. The complexproblems also highlight the importance of integrating societal issues into engineeringeducation and practice, emphasizing the social responsibilities and ethical considerations thatengineers must uphold [18], [19]. Therefore, transdisciplinary approaches present a feasibleand effective way to address complex problems in engineering disciplines and beyond.Historical Context of TransdisciplinarityThe concept of transdisciplinarity was first introduced in 1970 at a conference discussinginterdisciplinarity and its applications in Europe [20]. Jantsch and Piaget argue thatmultidisciplinary

: The Effect of Summarizing a Research Article on Students’ Area of Robotics Interest1 BackgroundThe need for capable, ethical robotics engineers is growing with the industry valued at 32.32billion in 2021 with anticipated growth of 12.1% from 2022 to 2030 [1], and projected 17,900mechanical engineering job openings each year [2]. It is imperative that undergraduate andgraduate programs prepare engineers for industry positions in robotics, and that they includeand encourage diverse groups of students to enter the field.Additionally, diversity among engineers in general is limited, starting with bachelor’s andbeing further exacerbated when entering engineering professions.
