studies widely. 3. Educational ContextWPI has long been a leader in project-based STEM education, since the establishment in theearly 1970s of an innovative curriculum that is today called The WPI Plan. Students at WPIenroll in four seven-week terms during each academic year. The Plan allows students openchoice in course work and requires them to complete three significant undergraduaterequirements: the Inquiry Seminar which is a humanities and arts course with a significantwriting requirement, typically completed in the second year, the Interactive Qualifying Project(IQP), which is the subject of our work here, typically completed in the third year, and the MajorQualifying Project (MQP) which is a project completed in the students’ major area

supporting institutional goals for diversity and inclusion can be bothdirect and indirect, depending on parent institution’s structure and mission. Support is directwhere academic libraries are integral to the strategic goals for research and teaching—twostrategic goals that are easily quantifiable and universal aspects. Academic libraries canarticulate direct support through collection development, reference, and instruction. Selectingmaterials is in the purview of subject area liaisons—who are engaged in reference and instructionas well—whose commitment to diversity and inclusion may vary by institution, department, orthe particular faculty requesting such materials. In addition to supporting the curriculum throughthe selection of culturally

experiences.Dr. Marie C Paretti, Virginia Tech Marie C. Paretti is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech, where she co- directs the Virginia Tech Engineering Communications Center (VTECC). Her research focuses on com- munication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication

own learning [7].” Thefocus here is not so much on the design and deployment of assessment tools, but a shared andmeaningful understanding of assessment results. We should be intentional about usingassessment results in an actionable, impactful way. The tenets of CIPF deem both assessment ofteaching and student learning essential. Assessment is an imperative and integrative componentof critical pedagogy that addresses classroom diversity. If assessment is used properly, it cantransform the hegemonic relationship between students and instructors. One study has shownthat open-minded, approachable, and flexible instructors create an environment where studentsare motivated to learn because such an environment allows students to challenge each

addressing the“soft skills” that are often absent in the typical engineering curriculum. Respondents 1 and 2mention the ideas of project and time management as applicable skills gained from thecontest. Respondent 1, 2, and 3 all mention gaining practice in presenting their research toothers, through the proposal and the pitch. Respondents 3 and 5 talk about being able to developtheir ideas, both through iteration and through research. This aligns with our plan for the contesttimeline to be an entire semester, rather than a compressed hackathon. These students indicatethat researching and writing proposals is useful practice as a professional skill. Perhaps evenmore inspiring is that Hack Dibner seemed to spark true commitment and enjoyment in

curriculum changes inengineering programs[10]. Despite all of this, I found it challenging to find papers documentingsuccessful interventions based on these changes.Colleges and universities are increasingly turning to the development of an inclusive culture byapplying frameworks like Inclusive Excellence, a model of diversity and inclusion that“anticipates critical appraisal and recognizes historical and contemporary challenges [11].” Thisframework, when adopted across an institution allows for more collective action. At Universityof Arizona Libraries, their Diversity, Social Justice and Equity Council (DSJEC) was created toalign with the institution’s priorities based on an Inclusive Excellence Model [11, p. 67].In approaching this work, I looked

of the curriculum and teaching from the instructor’s perspective. Seldin11focuses on assessing plan, procedures, preconditions, and products as elements of teachingevaluation. Stevenson and Kokkinn12 propose a method of evaluation of teaching using lists ofevaluative statements. Ramsden and Dodds13 recommend the use of generalized questions inevaluation of content (what should be conveyed to the student) and structure (teaching methods).Recognizing that “[c]ommunication and collaboration with faculty are increasingly important inthe development of both curriculum-integrated and stand-alone “just in time” library tutorials,”Appelt and Pendell14 employ faculty feedback on tutorial structure, discipline-specific content,and content integration

students represented 50%of Master's students and 78% of PhD students [2].For many years now, the need for enhancing information literacy (IL) training in universities hasbeen well documented. It has been nearly 20 years since Polytechnique Montréal introduced inits academic curriculum a mandatory and credited IL course for graduate students. This coursewas created and updated with guidance from the Association of College & Research Library(ACRL), most notably the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education [3]and the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education [4].The main objectives of this paper are to describe the evolution of the course and to discuss thefactors that have contributed to its success.

specifically looked at algorithm bias instruction, we did not find recent publishedwork in the field. However, compared to when we began our research in 2018, we find thatmany computer science programs now recognize and incorporate courses on algorithm bias intothe curriculum. An article published in 2019, “Embedded EthiCS: Integrating Ethics Across CSEducation” by Grosz et al. [14] outlines efforts at Harvard University to create amultidisciplinary approach to teaching ethics to CS students, utilizing instructors fromphilosophy and computer science to teach courses that address various ethical issues that facecomputer scientists.The Embedded EthiCS approach is being embraced at other institutions as well.
