And I think that gives them some confidence . . .but in classes, that's tough . . . I think everybody needs to find their own journey, so I don't want topush anything.”And Kelly—an Asian woman, assistant professor in electrical, computer, and systems engineeringshared, “[Students] get to do their outreach activities to elementary school kids and middle schoolkids. And so, they get that feedback too when a little kid comes in and gets really amazed

Guanes et al.have previously described the role of faculty in students’ empathy development, and expressedthat merely including empathy in the curricula is insufficient [66]. Instead, it is critical foreducators to learn the principles of empathy themselves, and to reflect on how it could beintegrated into the curriculum. One means for doing so suggested was including stakeholders ingrading of projects or rubric development, and/or establishing assessments along with students.Likewise, Mitchell and Light (2018) described how the requirements of deliverable rubrics couldbe continually assessed ensure alignment with stakeholders preferences and needs, asproof-of

Bias Busters groups created by industry and academia, especially the Bias Busters @ Carnegie Mellon University and the Bias Busters in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at University of California Berkeley. The student ambassadors were given broad objectives to improve the college community and educate the student population about diversity, equity, and inclusion. An initial planned project of the ambassadors was to organize a DEI Takeover Week during spring of 2020. This project had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The student ambassadors took this as an opportunity to instead develop programs focused on equity and inclusion issues that arose due to the pandemic and the transition to
