This chapter investigates the ethical considerations surrounding the rapidly expanding digital area of artificial intelligence (AI) and the challenges of applying it to the education sector. Initially, the influence of AI on modern education is examined, along with its possible benefits (such as customized instruction and reduced administrative tasks) and drawbacks (like worries about data privacy, inclusiveness, and accessibility). We look at significant ethical concerns while delving into this fascinating area, such as how AI may affect student privacy, the potential for algorithmic bias, and the requirement that AI systems be honest. We investigate the potential downsides of predictive analytics and data-driven education, carefully examining the trade-off between personalization and privacy. We also discuss the problem of algorithmic fairness and how machine learning algorithms might reinforce existing inequalities. As 2023 draws near, one of the most significant technical trends in higher education is artificial intelligence (AI). By offering customised instruction based on each student’s needs and facilitating creative approaches to accessibility, artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the educational experience. AI has the potential to improve student interaction with course materials, which will lead to positive results. However, it is critical to recognise the potential ethical issues that need to be addressed, such as maintaining equity, reducing prejudice, and addressing the possibility that AI could eventually replace human instructors in the classroom. The need of accountability and transparency in artificial intelligence-based teaching technologies is emphasised in this chapter. Next, consideration is given to offering moral guidelines for the application of AI in education. We support the establishment of a framework that gives openness, inclusiveness, accountability, and a student-centered approach top priority. This chapter adds a great deal to the

Inquiry based Inductive learning methodology is one of the best technique especially for the engineering students who are expected to solve real world problems. But it is very difficult to standardize a particular learning methodology for an institution with diverse attitude, diverse characteristics, diverse languages, diverse financial back grounds, and diverse cultural scenario with variable educational standard of the students. As the teaching methodology depends on the content and time as well as learners' varied style of learning, the same learner may prefer inductive teaching for one topic and deductive approach for the other topic. This paper initiates a sample study that is taken for a particular institution, in the particular environment, for the particular batch and particular set of students. The sample data are collected from a classroom by distributing the questionnaire attempted by two different batches of student having questions pertaining to Inquiry based and deductive learning. The system is developed and tested twice after teaching the content using inductive method and implemented using attribute relevance, discriminant rules of class discrimination mining. The results are visualized through bar charts and shows that the two batches of learners of different years have different learning characteristics.

Mathematics is considered a fundamental component of engineering education, thus it is important to determine the mathematical competencies (MCs) attained by engineering undergraduate students so that they will be able to use these competencies to support their professional engineering work. The MCs were identified based on Niss's work, namely;thinking mathematically, reasoning, problem posing and solving, modeling, representing, communicating, symbolism and formalism, using aids and tool. This research was done to explore MCs in engineering mathematics curriculum by conducting two studies;a study on engineers' MCs requirements at the workplace and a study on the engineering students' MCs acquirements at the university. In the first phase, 22 engineers from various industries in Malaysia responded to a set of open-ended questionnaires followed by interview session with 10 selected engineers. In the second phase, 41 engineering undergraduate students participated by answering a set of questionnaires with open ended questions The data of the research were analyzed qualitatively using schema coding approach as well as appropriate statistical analysis. The findings from both phases gave indication the MCs required should be the focus of engineering mathematics curriculum. Particularly it highlighted which MCs were actually attained by the undergraduate engineering students as compared to the MCs that were needed based on the demands at the workplace. The results gave suggestion that mathematics curriculum should also focus on MCs as outcomes besides the development of mathematical concepts and skills.

Kobe Institute of computing | Graduate School of Information Technology is working on the "High School Tankyu(inquiry) Project," which is centered on inquiry-based learning using ICT in higher education. This project is an effort to draw out the imagination and creativity of high school students by creating a town in a metaverse space using ICT, and to build a system that allows students to run on their own. Here, we report on our efforts to develop contents for city planning in the metaverse space and to implement them in the classroom.

This paper reported on industry involvement in Undergraduate Research Project (URP) course. During the final year of study, Chemical engineering (Biotechnology) (BKB) students were required to conduct a final year project. Undergraduate Research Project (URP) was divided into two which were URP I and URP II. In URP I, students have to prepare a research proposal and URP II was the continuation of URP I. In URP II the students were required to conduct the research and produce the dissertation. Rubrics for each evaluation have been developed to clearly define the assessments. In order to ensure a strong connection between students, staff and industry, BKB students were required to have at least 15% industrially linked/based URP topics. Starting from 2012, the faculty has invited external examiners from research institution and industries to assess students during their URP II presentation seminar. The presentation seminar was successfully conducted with the involvement of 14 industrial academic panels. The panels came from various industries, research institutes and consultation companies such as Petronas, MTBE Malaysia, Biotropics Malaysia, MOX Gases, FRIM and Sime Darby. Their recommendations and suggestions during the presentation projects have benefited all students and lecturer towards improving their research works. Other than that, the requirement to have at least 15% industrially linked URP topics has strengthened the relationship between the faculty and industry. In addition, several URP projects has been sent for research exhibition, internal and externally.

Some complex problems in the computational area are learning programming and algorithms. Authoring system is a subject that can be considered as complex as it integrates the use of scripting language like Action Script in Flash, Active Server Pages (ASP) and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP). The normal problem that resides when it comes to programming is handling error as it is not an easy task and for those who are new, might find this very troublesome. Handling the error requires proper planning and skills in analyzing problem which students usually lack at. Reflection in learning is really helpful in helping students learn the Authoring System subject effectively as they are encourage to share ideas, experiences and perspective actively on the emerging issues of Action Script topic especially in discussing the concepts and errors. With the need for reflection in developing the required skills in learning Authoring System, how then do we ensure and measure the quality in student reflection journals and its contact in assessing the subject content and students' performance in learning? Quality is defined as " processes or outcomes" [1]. In the context of this research study, quality is determined by assessing the progression of reflective processes based on the interventions given. As an educator, we need to be aware on how new technologies act as the engagers and facilitators in the reflection purposes. Blog is one of the emerging technologies that can offer such pedagogical benefits as reflective tools and social affordances across disciplines provided that one can read and make comments that lead to meaningful discussion for common interests and individual differences [2]. Although blogging enable deep reflection in each individual blogs, somehow it failed to encourage peer feedback to each other blogs and collaboration among students to support reflective thinking as expected [3]. This problem exists probably due to the minimum used of blog technical features and a
