This paper will explore first-year undergraduate engineering students’ identification ofethical issues in a context-specific RPS on facial recognition technology (referred to as FRT).2. Relevant Literature Engineering ethics instruction has been acknowledged as a fundamental learning goal forstudents to be trained before they graduate into the professional workforce [6]–[8]. Although thegeneral principles of ethics in engineering are standard and reflect ethics in other professions,engineering professionals have to deal with applying this way of thinking in a constantlychanging world. As Barakat & Carroll [9] describe ethics as “the side of engineering

The tool and the workshop enabled schools to reflect on theirown community values, beliefs, resources, and needs to develop a feasible plan for implement-ing sustainable Computer Science (CS) and Cybersecurity curriculum. Each of the teams left theworkshop with a comprehensive 3-month, 6-month, and one-year plan for implementation. Theworkshop also had sessions for guidance counselors, teachers, JROTC instructors, and admin-istrators to provide guidance and resources for their schools. The workshop was also precededby one-day congressional visits from teams from 10 schools to inform policymakers about theJROTC-CS initiative.Post-workshop activities included webinars to support the schools
learning engineering design fit withinthe traditional Navajo worldview?” [16], is an exemplar of this category. It is important to notethe directionality of this question; the authors do not ask how a Navajo worldview might fitwithin a philosophy of learning engineering design, but rather ask the opposite, and in doing sogive primacy to an Indigenous way of knowing even within the domain of engineering activities.This approach reflects the language of the fifth tenet of TribalCrit, a constituent tenet of the“Centered Indigenous Paradigm” category, which states that “the concepts of culture,knowledge, and power take on new meaning when examined through an Indigenous lens” [13, p.429]. In practice, this requires one to recognize the authority of
women lacking confidence and intimidated by the emphasis on mathprerequisites in CS classes and the male ”know-it-alls” in the classrooms [22]. For higher educa-tion institutions, it is important to systematically approach the inclusivity issues in the CS depart-ment with department and faculty, especially female faculty support. A community of like-mindedwomen is essential to support the career change journey with peers/mentors support throughout thelearning and working environment. Lastly, women tend to develop career aspirations associatedwith social values. This was reflected in a study explaining why women are not pursuing a CSdegree due to their career interests clustering around helping fields [11]. The growth of the digitaleconomy

For the advisors/instructors assigned to the course,statistics per week of support is min = 1.0, max = 4.0, mean = 1.46, and mode = 1.0 hours.Comparatively, the industry mentors reported the following weekly statistics of min = 1.0, max =2.0, mean = 1.11, and mode = 1.0 hours. This difference was expected as instructors are hired tobe closely associated with coursework.For mentoring of capstone students/teams, programs utilize many different methods [27-28].According to Pembridge and Paretti [29], seven of the most common mentoring styles as indicatedby literature are presented, as follows: • CHALLENGE students by questioning as a way of reflection/justification of decisions. • PROTECT students from failure by

Each tip is formatted with a “reflect” section that introduces theconcept and data, a “learn” section that explains how it manifests and how to recognize it, and a“change” section that suggests how to act on the new information.

The number ofnew faculty with disabilities is also expected to increase because greater numbers of individualswith disabilities are graduating with PhDs in STEM and are thus potential candidates for joiningthe professoriate [1]–[3]. Because students benefit from role models who reflect their ownidentities—as well as from exposure to instructors and mentors with diverse backgrounds—it isworthwhile to cultivate a diverse faculty, including disabled faculty [4]. People with disabilitiesbenefit from meeting or learning about role models and mentors that have navigated issuessurrounding accessibility and accommodations in education and employment settings [5], [6].The AccessADVANCE project was funded in

While 8organizational expectations focused on the company’s desires or values; what the companyexpected out of an individual and the requirements necessary for said individual to be considereda viable asset to the company. Memos reflecting organizational expectations were as follows, “Ithink that the job requires a certain amount of skills in order to be hired” and “I would think thatthis company takes pride in their product and ensure that their quality control is accurate andefficient”.

Presenting HEI topics through the lens of criticalpedagogy invites students to reflect on their position within this seemingly objective field and toact in a way that will uplift themselves and their work towards a more engaged and conscientiousstate [18]. Within this framework, students are urged to contribute their unique perspective whilewelcoming that of their peers, learning to hold multiple truths at once, and accepting new waysof thinking.

Second, this work will also advance our scientific understanding of studententrepreneurship, an important yet under-researched topic. Third, the interventions developed inthis study also have practical implications, as they appear to provide a cost-efficient means toincrease interest in STEM entrepreneurship within undergraduate populations in at least onemajor University in the United States.Hypothesis development Prior work in psychology posits that the way both traits and psychological states affectaction depends on context, and, importantly, that psychological states are malleable [33].

reflects findings from Botelho et al., who suggest that the educational use of a computersimulation is the emphasis on exploring by running the simulation numerous times. This allowsstudents to examine various scenarios and assumptions as part of the “theory-buildingprocess”[13]. This then allows the students to gain some hands-on experience at the comfort oftheir computer, with the flexibility of running the model as many times as needed. It also allowsthem to take note of their iterations as part of their scientific inquiry (See Appendix A Fig 2.).Additionally, an interesting finding was that teachers reported that some students interacted withthe MATLAB live scripts interface as a “game” and showed some level of excitement using it.This is
