contribute to understanding. It isappropriate to set aeronautical education in the context of aerospace product development forseveral reasons. First, it is what our graduates will do when they graduate. It culturally preparesthem for the activities of engineering, and excites them by satisfying their desire to perform theroles of an engineer. Secondly, it aids in teaching the skills that they will need in the workplace.If we are to teach students to communicate and work in teams, and especially to act ethically andcreatively, it is far easier to impart this understanding while working on authentic engineeringactivities. Finally, and most subtly, learning in context better supports the learning of the criticalaeronautics core competencies

good work ethic can achieve success in a STEM-related field. To helpalleviate these preconceived, negative stigmas about engineering, the STEM teachers plan tospend more time informally educating their school staff about the field of engineering, that it isfor any student who is willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to it; it is not just for “reallysmart” people who are good at math.Limitations of Study/Further QuestionsThe findings of these analyses should be placed within the limitations of this study.

computing onsome fields might still be in its infancy.Like engineering, computing is a very creative process involving innovative design that isconditioned by business, economic, social, political, ethical, and technical constraints1,3 generallywithin the setting of a team structure. Therefore, one could conclude that the computingprofessional should at least be educated and trained on a comparable level as the future engineer.

As part of this course, students also learn introductory concepts related to theinner workings of the computer, such as operating systems, networks, and database systems. Thisoverview of machine architecture, software development, data organization, ethics, computersecurity, and the theory of computing is presented to introduce students to the key threads

Timing was such that the first item (theAgreement of Cooperation19) was due at the end of the first week of class so that the teams werestarted quickly with a clear, immediately milestone. Feedback was given on these agreements sothat students had all discussed how to deal with conflict, differing work ethic, and how to bestrespect each other’s ideas.

This conversational interface allows for a fluid exchange of ideasbetween designer and AI which creates interactive dialogue that helps to create novel conceptsthat may not be possible though traditional DM (10).There are numerous drawbacks associated with GenAI that are noted throughout the literature. Itcan be non-deterministic, uncontrollable, or overly generic which means that many trials need tobe taken to reach a desired outcome (5). It is also a challenge to incorporate into the curriculumas educators need to be trained and educational frameworks need to be updated (8, 11, 12).Additionally, there are ethical concerns with

Plagiarism is defined as submittingsomeone else's work without proper citation and is a serious violation of academic ethics [30].Cheating on tests can be caused by multiple factors, including inadequate preparation, workloadoverload, or fear of failure [31]. In many cases, students are not taught values such as honestyand responsibility from the beginning of their education, making them more

However, e-learning must be supplemented byopen discussions [13], and project-based/textbook-based learning, especially for foundational subjects.

It is unclear if these students, the majority of whom areGeneration Z, tend to think of themselves as self-reliant or if the COVID-19 pandemiclockdowns have made lasting effects of isolationism in their work ethics. Another possibleexplanation comes from students lacking confidence in the advice or feedback from peers, as onecomment stated (Q18).3.3 Perceived Design and CAD Skills and Students’ Benefits After Design ReviewMore than half of the students agreed with the statement that they had strong CAD and designskills coming into the course, much higher than anticipated when examining the Part II surveyresponses. The question then becomes about who benefits from design review and how. Basedon the students’ perceived design
[6]. During the Middle Ages, professionalguilds established regulations akin to codes of ethics, ensuring the quality of construction andpenalizing breaches with financial loss or expulsion from the guild [7]. The term “civil engineer”emerged in the 18th century, distinguishing engineers working on civilian infrastructure frommilitary projects. With the formal establishment of engineering societies such as the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 1852, efforts to standardize practices gained momentum,culminating in the formation of key organizations like ASTM International (1898), AASHTO(1914), and NIST (1901) [8].Standards, specifications, and codes are typically developed in response to identified needsarising from industry

regarding the nature of the decisions requested [52]. Examples of this areexperiments [53], medical procedures [54], and the use of data from digital technologies [55]. Whendeveloping processes of consent, participants must be informed of the different consequences upondeciding [56]. This notion arose from the development of ethical principles while performing researchexperiments that involved human subjects and has been translated into frameworks such as theBelmont Principles [57]. A crucial aspect in the process of informing is the development of methodsthat provide individuals and communities with sufficient and useful information to understand therisk and benefits of their decisions [58]. However, many of these interactions are based on the
