the class (Fig 2A). Students were supplied with scissors, blank whiteposters and glue. In addition, students were allowed to bring their own supplies such as printoutsand markers. Each group gave a 2 min pitch and were assessed based on the innovation, posterlayout, and presentation skills. All the groups were encouraged to ask questions during thegallery walk as well as vote for their favorite product. This gave students an opportunity toprovide constructive feedback and learn from the work of their peers.Fig. 2: Student posters displaying product innovation.

In fact, the main accrediting board for the Engineeringfield—the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)—listed the students’“ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences” (ABET, 2017) as one of its maincriteria for institutions seeking accreditation.

softwaresystems that produce fair outcomes for individuals in society.Harms of Algorithm BiasThere are many reasons why an algorithm may be considered “biased.” Incomplete or faultydata is one reason. In other instances, it may be the choice of data that is being selected fordecision making. As an example of the latter, in a 2019 paper [4] in Science, “Dissecting racialbias in an algorithm used to manage the health of populations,” authors Obermeyer et al. foundevidence that a widely used commercial prediction algorithm for determining health risk wasconsistently scoring black patients as being lower risk for health issues than white patients, eventhough, in their study, the black patients had significant health risks that were being missed bythe
this collaboration to the curriculum of both courses. (SeeTable 3.) There were several program differences that needed to be addressed, however.First, SPM was only offered in the fall at MTU, so the collaboration could not take place duringthe spring. No action was taken to address this difference, so the collaboration was applied duringthe fall 2019 and fall 2020 semesters, but not the spring 2020 and spring 2021 semesters.Second, both courses at MTU were taught by the same instructor. No action needed to be taken toaddress this difference.Third, TSP and SPM had no overlapping instruction time. The instructor for these coursesproposed a program change to add an overlapping lab hour, but the proposal did not carrythrough. To address this, the
