While ample research has studied the structures and professional implications ofcapstone design courses, as well as the complex nature of engineering design activity[1]–[3],little research has been done on investigating academic engineering settings, and how and whystudents engage in engineering design in such settings.Our investigation is informed by the

Making judgments in contexts with competing criteria (e.g., leadership,production, relationships, safety, spending, time) is inherent to the role of an engineer [4].

Whenthese models are utilized to make inferences about people, such as facial recognition, predictivepolicing, and credit score assignment, they would lead to decisions which can have negativeimpacts on communities of color even without the programmer’s intention to discriminate [1]–[3]. This has led to the ban on the use of such technologies in a few US cities. To empoweryoung people to thrive in civic life in the era of AI, education must prepare them to understandthe benefits and recognize potential harms of AI so that they can make informed decisions.However, this is not easy.

The cohortstructure allows for close relationships to form, combatting the social isolation that historicallymarginalized students may feel in CS classes. Peer mentoring benefits students by offeringfurther academic, social, and professional development support within the program. Project-based learning provides strong ties to students’ major area(s) of study (primarily biology andbiochemistry) and supports students’ future success in fields that are becoming increasingly data-driven.1 Finally, the minor program courses focus

Earlier studies with students in introductory programming courses demonstrated thatstudents in less computationally intense degree programs often demonstrate a lower sense of selfefficacy and are likely to believe that coding is unlikely to be a key part of their education orcareer [2] [3] [4] [5].
