conversations about equity anddiversity in the classroom. The engineering curriculum is not neutral, and knowledge is producedwithin a power-driven social and cultural system [3, 4]. ABET student outcomes are not entirelytechnical and include that students must have an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility, the broad education necessary to understand engineering impacts in a global andsocietal context, and knowledge of contemporary issues. Nevertheless, discussing the societaland ethical implications of engineering and technology is often a daunting task for bothengineering students and instructors [5].At our university, as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Revolutionizing Engineeringand Computer Science Departments (RED

in his/her first challenging college class during their freshman year is importantas it may be a predictor for overall college success. There are a variety of features that such acourse should engage, including developing the ability to identify, formulate, and solvecontemporary global and societal problems, creativity, communication skills, high ethicalstandards, and the importance of lifelong learning. The incorporation of using technology andoutside resources in developing these skills also are important elements.
