different STEM disciplines, course pedagogies, academic levels, and needsindependent of each other. However, using only an emergent approach to coding would haveobscured the topical inadequacies of our modules. Therefore, we conducted a literature reviewon the most common categorization of data science concepts and techniques. Despite theevolving nature of data science as an academic discipline, we found general trends of datascience concepts and techniques common across disciplines. These general trends werecategorized into six broad categories: (1) data acquisition, (2) data quality issues, (3) data useand visualization, (4) machine learning, (5) data ethics, privacy, and security, and (6)miscellaneous. Table 2 summarizes the coding scheme and
) papersincluded the term “social justice,” compared to 49 in 2015 [8]. Although mentioned, socialjustice was not the primary focus of the majority of these articles. Bielefeldt interviewed 1,268faculty who embed ethics and societal impact issues in their classes and found that 27% of thesurveyed faculty integrate social justice/poverty topics into their teaching [8]. The facultyinterviewed believed that teaching social justice topics was insufficient in their programs,although no broad consensus exists on what level would be sufficient.In general, the literature demonstrate that two primary approaches have been used to integratesocial justice into the engineering curricula: one approach dedicates a single course that focuseson teaching engineering ethics

AI is a challenging topic for beginners to learn due to complex fundamentaltheories (e.g., machine learning, game theory) [25]. In order to motivate learners and help themlearn, researchers proposed several methods to teach AI to students including the cumulative wayto teach AI components [26], the use of games [25, 27–29], emotional intelligence [30], andconsideration of ethical aspects [31, 32]Cybersecurity and AI Education. In terms of the studies that consider both cybersecurity andAI education, there exists only one study in the literature. Farahmand [33] shared the

The plan wasdesigned to enable students to gain the skills to design and conduct experimental testing,simulate, analyze, and interpret data and can design a system to meet the set needs withinrealistic boundaries such as environmental, social, economic, political, ethical, health and safety,and sustainability. Students are expected to have the capacity to work effectively onmultidisciplinary teams, to develop the skills to classify, articulate, and solve engineeringdiscrete problems

They are not aware that therewill be an exam after most of their engineering courses are completed but before they graduatenor that this exam is discipline specific for any of the following areas: Chemical, Civil,Electrical and Computer, Environmental, Industrial and Systems, Mechanical, and OtherDisciplines. The “Other Disciplines” exam is the target for students with the A.S. EngineeringTechnology degree. This exam covers mathematics through differential equations, statistics,chemistry, instrumentation and controls, engineering ethics, safety, engineering

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. For instance, in Social Integration,newly-hired engineers maintain a good work ethic to show they are reliable to coworkers. Inthis way, they acquire respect and develop a good social relationships with their coworkersthrough the working process. Managers, in Social Integration, would allow newcomers tonaturally develop the

Inviting input from educators and students fromdiverse backgrounds in the development of such systems may help to prevent the negative impactof algorithmic bias. 30 Further work in each of these areas has the potential to greatly improve theimpact CPI platform on student users’ knowledge of STEM+C as well as their future academicand career interests development at scale.

investigated further. The demographics of the alumni respondents matched the expectations of the researchteam based on the demographics of Lipscomb [17] and the engineering field [18]. Additionally,because white males represent the majority of engineering jobs, data from this group will behighly useful to understanding inclusion perspectives in the workplace. Of note, however, is theimpact that underrepresented groups may have on inclusivity in engineering. McGee and Bentleydescribe how black and Latinx undergraduate STEM students develop an equity ethic or aconcern for social justice based on past suffering from inequities [19]. It’s possible thatunderrepresented groups in engineering feel a desire for inclusivity because of an equity ethic

It has been a great way for studentsto gain experience and to receive an introduction to the interaction between the reinforcing steeland the concrete. When the students later take a reinforced concrete design course, they canrelate back to their experience at FERL. Seeing a concrete beam physically fail also highlightsthe professional and ethical responsibility they will bear as designers of structures used by apublic trusting in their technical competence.In addition to the concrete beam, the other FERL activities are integrated both with FERL andinto the academic classroom.

In the process, students uncover important issues like privacy, data integrity,information security, risk, decision making, ethics, regulations, and social disparities in access tocare and outcomes. Students find that exploration of these issues, adds context and meaning totheir training as biomedical engineers.Over the past four years, the course has evolved from a traditional lecture/lab course with timedpaper/exam-based assessments to a project based active learning rich course with open-endedactivities and untimed assessments. Examples of interventions implemented to address threelearning goals of the course are summarized in Tables 1-3. Active learning interventions
spur economic growth, whiletackling climate change and preserving oceans and forests are necessary [1]. While engineers arenot solely responsible for achieving these goals, they do have much to contribute. To that end,the U.S. National Society of Professional Engineers’ Code of Ethics expects engineers “to adhereto the principles of sustainable development in order to protect the environment for futuregenerations” [3]. In addition, the SDGs overlap with several of the National Academy ofEngineering’s 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st century, such as providing accessto clean water and ensuring access to clean energy, but they also go far beyond to address therestoration of ecosystems and women empowerment [4].

Despite the ethical, business, and/or historical implications ofthese case studies, they are still restricted by their labeling as “engineering disasters” [28]. Whenit comes to cooperative learning, most engineering courses offer collaboration betweenengineering disciplines (intradisciplinary), not between engineering and wholly differentdisciplines (interdisciplinary) [27], [30]-[31]. This lack of collaboration with disciplines separatefrom engineering results in a narrowed perspective on the content being delivered.Research QuestionsThis study seeks to answer the following two research questions: 1.
