Ethics in an Introductory Bioengineering Course (Work In Progress)IntroductionEthics and diversity are critical components of engineering training and practice, but mostundergraduate engineering programs do not address these issues in-depth [1-3]. In this work-in-progress, we describe the design and implementation of a novel curriculum that allows earlyengineering students to explore the interplay of diversity and ethics in an engineering context.Importantly, our curriculum can be incorporated into any engineering course, and thus serves asa model for educators in any engineering discipline.This work-in-progress describes student response to three rounds of pilot efforts [4] and how weare developing and implementing the first

differ byrace, X2(4, N = 246) = 0.000, p > .05 and we accept the H1 hypothesis as true that ‘the reportedlevels of RMA are different for women of color and other females’ studying engineering. Also,were calculated the correlations for all the scales and sub-scales. Interestingly, the elevated PHQscores were correlated with microaggressions [r (243) = .22, p < .01]. This relationship will befurther explored in the individual interviews.Based on the correlations, engineering identity was related to the internalization sub-scale of theWIAS. The internalization level is an indication that a women has integrated a personallydefined positive view of womanhood into their identity despite cultural norms or the antitheticalpositions of the women 20

The NSBEmembers were engineering students, studying a STEM curriculum at the undergraduate andgraduate school level. The text alone was a single dimension of the invitation: “Helloooooeveryone Finals are coming up fast so come study with NSBE today from 11-5pm in [locationredacted]!! There will be free (pizza) We hope to see you all there!”. The paralinguisticelements augmented the invitation, adding a variety of sentiments. The emoji were a WavingHand with Medium

was deemed ‘not cut out for’ engineering,” this paper eloquently outlined“the ways that many other actors (students, teachers, societal labels, engineering culture)contribute to and construct this student ability in everyday moments.” The final pitch is for alleducators to view culture not as a past explanation for the current plight, but instead as a currentchallenge to create a desired, inclusive culture.The team of Svihla et. al. [10] added an engineering design course early in the curriculum as astrategy to support persistence in engineering, especially with underrepresented groups. The goalwas to help students discover and gain confidence in individual attributes, skills, and beliefs thatare critical for engineering design. Those

maintaining or dismantling that privilege. We hope that these examples willbe helpful to others interested in integrating such content into their courses.Institutional ContextThe history behind the creation of these courses stems from being at the forefront of institution-wide transformation, including the inauguration of a new university president, theimplementation of a new University Core curriculum, the award of an NSF RED grant, and thecreation of a new General Engineering department [11]. The University of San Diego is amajority undergraduate, private four-year [12], faith-based institution that embraces Catholicsocial teaching in its mission.
