We worked to operationalize intersectionality both within the workshop content andin our design and delivery of the workshop.An Intersectional Design IntentionAs our end goal is to enact a systems change, we are keenly aware that power dynamics andother issues of intersectionality must be addressed. As members of this community, we have hadthe opportunity to learn from leaders in the field about racial marginalization in computing andengineering spaces, the influence of disability on participation in computing and engineering,and the long history of gender-focused initiatives that have centered women in the past and arebeginning to include TNB people

Afterwards, we required students tocommunicate what they learned through completing and submitting a graded final deliverable.This deliverable could be a video, slide presentation, a written op-ed piece, or a piece of art aboutthe work they completed in the module. We evaluated the content of the modules through asurvey that assessed the students’ interest in the modules and determined the utility of themodules in the context of the study of computing.

. Notwithstanding,the current general education curriculum in Taiwan still lacks engineering and humanitiesintegrated courses specifically designed for the College of Engineering, such as coursesrelated to engineering practice and corresponding cross-cultural socio-political systems. As aresult, students’ learning experiences are like a hodgepodge, lacking effectiveinterdisciplinary learning. Only a few engineering ethics courses are offered by professorsfrom the School of Engineering and School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but theyface human resource, professional, and teaching bottlenecks.Universities in Korea started offering engineering and humanities integrated courses as partof engineering curricula or liberal education around 2000.
