In each targeted course, the revision introduces a sequence of group assignments,class discussions, and presentations that explore historical, ethical, or social issues related to thecourse topics with a focus on anti-racism, diversity, inclusion, and equity in the discipline.

After explicating the relationship betweeninclusion and oppression, the authors use a case of unjust academic paper reviewing todemonstrate how they walked through the 4Rs: Recognize, Reveal, Reject Replace.

Practitioners of engineering education have a responsibility to work towards alleviatingsuch inequities in their classrooms through a pedagogy of care centered around a recognition ofsuch practices as ableist and discriminatory against students who hold identities traditionallymarginalized in engineering classrooms ([12], [22]). As they work towards such alleviation, theyoften leverage tools and resources that traditionally marginalized students can use to achievecourse learning objectives at similar levels and draw more benefit from as opposed to thosewithout such identities. In this paper, I advocate for ChatGPT being one such tool. While the focus of theexploration initially was on international students, I also
the threat of the different strains of the Covid-19 virus hasreduced and consequently, a large number of institutions have reverted to in-person modes ofinstruction that prevailed prior to the start of the pandemic (e.g. [2], [3]).
