-efficient computing. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 ECR: BCSER: Are Females Better at Debugging Circuits?IntroductionIn the semiconductor industry, debugging is sometimes called “The Schedule Killer” due to itsunpredictable and costly nature [1]. Some electronics engineers spend up to 44% of their time ondebugging tasks [2], yet this industry-critical skill is frequently omitted from undergraduatecurricula [3], [4]. Instead, students are often expected to develop debugging skills indirectlythrough projects and labs without targeted training. These challenges make teaching debugging a“million-dollar” question [5] that could improve undergraduate student outcomes and increaseworkplace

This approach can reinforce existing inequalities andcolonial mindsets by perpetuating power dynamics between socially dominant students andmarginalized communities [15]. These educational dynamics mirror challenges in professionalpractice, where marginalized practitioners are burdened with navigating institutionalizedpractices rooted in colonial practices. Specifically, local practitioners and racial minorities reportthat structural racism is deeply embedded in the international development sector's culture andpractices, affecting how they perceive their communities and engage with international NGOs[3].

For example, the ASCE BOK states that “civil engineers must be able toaddress the sustainability of a project during planning and to help stakeholders understand theenvironmental, economic, and social impacts” [4, p. 40]. Further, engineers must be able toanalyze situations with conflicting professional and ethical issues in order to determine anappropriate next step [5]. Building these skills in the classroom is critical, and professors mayhave the opportunity to mentor students through the complex problems that engineers solve inpractice.
