In implementing the approach, the instructor identifies the topic orproblem to be proposed as a senior design project.

Asnoted in a recent Physics Today article on student evaluations of teaching (SETs), “The degree ofdisparity varies by discipline, course, level, institution, and other factors, but across the board,SETs penalize women, underrepresented minorities, nonnative English speakers, and older andphysically less attractive instructors of both sexes,” (Feder, 2020).It is therefore of great interest to better understand the conscious or unconscious biases present inmodern day students with respect to race and gender. Through understanding the biases of currentstudents, one can better anticipate the intervention needs of the future workforce. For example, arecent study of nursing and psychology students identified an implicit bias against
