Contemporary Issues, and d.)Debates. Importantly, the new course motivates students to identify opportunities to voice theirperspectives, but it does not dictate for the students what those perspectives should be.(a) First, students learn fundamentals of deontology, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics to providethem with frameworks for thinking about ethical action and character. This foundation in moralphilosophy is developed further in later senior-level courses as students incorporate ethicalanalysis into their undergraduate theses.(b) Once a student knows what they think is correct

customs of African American people can enrich STEMeducation [8][14][15]. The takeaways from these proven approaches are (a) the need to reframe the causeof difficulty for African American students learning STEM, (b) embedding cultural knowledge of AfricanAmerican people increases African American students’ engagement and comprehension, and (c) AfricanAmerican cultural knowledge transforms conceptions of STEM knowledge and teacher practice. Adjapong& Emdin [16] and Brown’s [17] work has shown that when African American students are given theopportunity to participate in the learning setting in a way that is natural to them, previously excludedstudents engage at a high level, demonstrating competence and enthusiasm.One way for African American

What we came up with was a surprisingly discrete model of facultyprofessional development for our department, whose faculty identifies primarily as scholars in a)engineering and design education or b) the social sciences. This model extends from the team-teaching efforts described above but goes further to require instructional teams to define“integrated lessons” building upon each of their mutual disciplinary instructional traditions.Our proposed instructional
