Having the infrastructure set up before the University classes were entirely online madethe transition seamless for students and the instructor compared to what other engineeringcourses experienced.Lectures were designed around specific topics, taking to more than 20-30 minutes each. A shortdiscussion followed. The labs were created based on highly publicized security incidents, likedata breaches. After the breaches were introduced, students discussed the incidents and sharedtheir thoughts on the ethics of the organizations’ actions and/or legal outcomes. Initial workstarted on introducing ethical components to cybersecurity modules in 2019 [4]. The lab sectionsfollowed right after the discussion. The first lab is designed to teach

The courses span threeyears of a typical engineering curriculum and represent both introductory/project-based coursesand a core engineering science course to facilitate understanding across a breadth of studentexperiences.To protect students, the semi-structured focus groups were conducted by two of this paper’s co-authors not teaching the specific classes from which participants were recruited.

—is of paramountimportance.The importance of communication within the engineering industry has prompted an ideologicalshift in higher education—especially regarding the skills engineering students should possess.Learning outcomes of engineering students are moving from emphasis on students’ technicalabilities towards what are termed ‘soft skills’ that complement technical expertise—one suchskill being successful communication. In fact, the main accrediting board for the Engineeringfield—the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)—listed the students’“ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences” (ABET, 2017) as one of its maincriteria for institutions seeking accreditation.

In other instances, it may be the choice of data that is being selected fordecision making. As an example of the latter, in a 2019 paper [4] in Science, “Dissecting racialbias in an algorithm used to manage the health of populations,” authors Obermeyer et al. foundevidence that a widely used commercial prediction algorithm for determining health risk wasconsistently scoring black patients as being lower risk for health issues than white patients, eventhough, in their study, the black patients had significant health risks that were being missed bythe

this collaboration to the curriculum of both courses. (SeeTable 3.) There were several program differences that needed to be addressed, however.First, SPM was only offered in the fall at MTU, so the collaboration could not take place duringthe spring. No action was taken to address this difference, so the collaboration was applied duringthe fall 2019 and fall 2020 semesters, but not the spring 2020 and spring 2021 semesters.Second, both courses at MTU were taught by the same instructor. No action needed to be taken toaddress this difference.Third, TSP and SPM had no overlapping instruction time. The instructor for these coursesproposed a program change to add an overlapping lab hour, but the proposal did not carrythrough. To address this, the
