We are inviting instructors across disciplines to come together as a community of practice to build expertise around teaching in the age of Generative AI. These monthly lunches provide a great opportunity to learn more about GenAI as it applies to multiple disciplines, hear what other instructors have tried, ask questions and share ideas, and learn about the interests of those thinking about, teaching with (or against), and researching GenAI at Cornell. Refreshments will be provided.

At this meeting, we will hear from Suzanne Lane, Senior Lecturer in the Engineering Communications Program. Please see the description below:

• Title: A Practical, Hands-On Classroom Experiment with AI Ethics
• Description: This session presents a team project that asks students to assess and evaluate ethical issues with AI. As part of Suzanne Lane's sections of ENGRC 3500: Engineering Communication, students work in teams to develop a method for testing the ethical issues that may arise when using a specific AI tool in a particular use case, and then report on the results with relevant policy recommendations. This session will discuss the goals and instructional scaffolding for the project, and highlight some of the students' findings, as well as how their thinking changes over the course of the project. This hands-on project aims to increase students' critical literacy with AI, their facility with incorporating ethical reasoning into their engineering work, and their comfort with communicating about the social and ethical issues that arise within their technical field.

This series is co-sponsored by the Center for Teaching Innovation and the Sue G. and Harry E. Bovay Program in the History and Ethics of Professional Engineering.

Monday, May 11, 2026, from 12:00–1:00 p.m., in person.
