U455·SUNDAY WORKSHOP: Psychological safety is crucial for teaming, and it can be taught!

Sun. June 22, 2025 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM

Session Description

Too often, students say they have nothing to contribute or that their teammates won't listen. Innovation, curiosity, and idea generation are stifled; students learn negative coping skills, and students miss opportunities to build leadership skills. For the highest success, teams must be inclusive and efficient. Research, including Google's, demonstrates that high-performing teams actively foster psychological safety. However, engineering programs rarely teach effective teaming skills, and even fewer teach skills for fostering psychological safety.
To address this gap, we developed mod ... (continued)

Relationality perspectives rely upon the premise that we are shaped by our interconnectedness to
others. It considers how we are all entangled, with and through others, and to contexts,
environments, and place. Using relational practices in facilitation of faculty development efforts
helps to build connection and community with and between participants, which increases
engagement and enhances impact. Beyond relational practices, faculty developers can create
programming that brings relationality to the forefront as a value and a goal in engineering
education. This is particularly relevant a ... (continued)

As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies become embedded in common social practices, questions about the ethical design and use of AI are more pressing than ever. Responsible AI (RAI) efforts have responded to these questions, generating common sets of principles that attend to social, cultural, and environmental concerns related to emergent AI technologies. How might these principles be leveraged in engineering education to make RAI a grassroots strategy rather than a tool for “ethics washing”? This workshop introduces participants to RAI and provides a platform to discuss how it might be in ... (continued)
