is increasingly being woven into the fabric of everyday life. It isbecoming more and more a seemingly necessary and somewhat trusted component of society forboth personal and non-personal day-to-day interactions. Developing such intelligent systemsrequires technical expertise, such as an in-depth knowledge of natural language processing ormachine learning. However, in addition to technical expertise, a deep awareness andunderstanding of ethics and societal impact are also essential. Mastering knowledge of ethics andsocietal impact falls on the shoulders of computer professionals and programmers, whose role isto design and implement the decision-making component of intelligent systems.

We use the term bias to refer to computeralgorithms that systematically discriminate against certain content, individuals, or groupswithout a sound basis [1].As automated systems become an integral part of many decisions that affect our daily life,civil rights, and public discourse, there is concern among social scientists and computerscientists about the presence of bias in machine learning and big-data algorithms.

approach, based on these paradigms, thatis specially designed for engineering courses. We have developed interactive, self-pacedcomputer-based lectures in which students learn abstract concepts on their own. In this approach,classrooms have been allocated for problem solving, student-teacher interaction, and industry-related applications. The proposed teaching methodology combines the constructivistapproach—which enables students to acquire knowledge meaningful to them through interaction—and the objectivist approach—in which students passively receive information via computer-based lectures.

This places a considerable burden on the courseinstructor to present engineering concepts in a way that will not only enhance learning, but alsoattract and retain the interest of students who are looking into pursuing engineering relatedcareers. If not well presented, the Statics course can be an intimidating experience thatdiscourages learning.

We have also found that thesemodules can be used effectively at the community college level and can provide resources tocommunity college faculty that they might not otherwise have readily available. In fact, the useof computer graphics and image processing programs as teaching and motivational tools isbecoming common at all levels of education. As an example, one of our modules used in CS1provides a brief background in computer vision concepts and allows students to write an imageprocessing program with applications in computer vision.
