The approach involvesredesigning an existing intro to computing course with justice-based activities, supported by anEquity Learning Assistant (ELA) program. This program trains upperclass students to facilitatein-class discussions on equity and social justice. The project targets improvements in students'critical sociotechnical literacy and engineering identity. Activities include analyzing

Faculty respondents in a 2019 bioengineering design education workshop reported thatbioengineering departments have specific strengths in teaching interdisciplinary knowledge,communication, client needs, human anatomy and physiology, biological constraints, andinteraction with clinicians [26]. The fact that bioengineering applications are broad and open-ended casts a wide net for the types of projects which end up being proposed and run throughbioengineering senior design courses.
