pedagogy, fairness in AI, disinformation, social justice addressing theinequities of society, and ethics/professionalism topics. In most of these topics, equity incomputing is still forming and not widely seen as an integral part of the discipline.N. Washington [31] discusses the glaring omission of non-technical issues from the CScurriculum that would allow CS students, and future professionals, to understand, analyze, andoffer solutions about the inequity and lack of representation that exists in computing. Dr.Washington argues that there is a need for all CS students to have a level of cultural competenceso that students can begin to understand, critically analyze and look for solutions that willimprove equity in our field.

the global context in their work [1]. This involves acknowledging and respectingcultural differences in design, implementation, and decision-making processes. Developing thesecompetencies provides and supports effective communication which is crucial for globalcollaboration. Engineers need to be adept at expressing complex technical concepts in a way thatis understandable across different cultures and backgrounds.Global competencies provide a scaffold to work in diverse teams, bringing together individualswith different skills, backgrounds, and cultural perspectives to address global challenges.Providing educational learning opportunities in social responsibility through ethical decision-making is important as it aligns with ethical

Multiple sections of the coursewere offered in the fall semester while a single section is offered in the spring semester.

. As a team we planned a three day game design workshop for middle school students that: ● fosters interest in computer science careers by exposing students to basic programming concepts; ● encourages the development of ethical decision-making capacities by designing games that address contemporary challenges in adolescents’ lives; and ● harnesses the motivational affordances of games to encourage students to engage in interest driven learning.Game Jam workshops are potentially well suited to achieving the goals we note above because of their open-ended nature [3]. Game jams build on the affordances of games, offering youth a playful and agenticperspective on design and problem solving, while exposing them to basic

However, environmental engineering students often graduate with limited knowledge andinsights about the pathways that lead from scientific knowledge to policy, and the role of otheractors (constituents, industry, media, administrators), who can help or derail an effort to createpolicy consistent with the best scientific knowledge [4], [5], [6]. Gaps have also been identifiedregarding care-ethical responsibility of engineers toward the protection of human subjects,societal values and the environment [7].Regarding interaction with other actors, a gap exists in the area of communication with non-engineers and non-scientists.

modeling, and data analytics models. We adopt the format of a curricularmodule, as it has been common in computing pedagogy as self-contained units of instructions tobe incorporated in a specific course 4,5 . The curricular module has two settings, Level I and LevelII, targeting the first and second CSP courses for non-computing majors, such as the CSPrinciples and DS Principles courses for non-majors. Both of these two levels incorporate theusage of the DSLP into the teaching and learning, assisting students to obtain hands on practice ofhandling, understanding, and analyzing real world data sets, as well as an awareness ofdata-related ethics and privacy.The first targeted course is equivalent to AP CSP and is offered to first year college

The followings are the criteria for determining the similarities anddifferences:1) Similarity exists when a supportive action directly supports a proactive action. Or,it does not directly support a proactive action, however, has the same goals and takesthe same or similar approaches as the proactive action.

Inthis way, they acquire respect and develop a good social relationships with their coworkersthrough the working process.

It may also help attract a more diverse population intoengineering [18, 19].
