This is not a new problem in education, and there are many existing frameworks that can be utilized in this effort, like culturally-relevant pedagogy [39], community-based learning [40], and possibly even critical pedagogy [41]. These approaches are participative in nature, mandating a collaborative process between the curriculum developers, the teachers, and the students – grounding learning activities in the concerns and interests of the students while providing the rigor needed to prepare students to effectively use CS [42]. Embracing such approaches helps avoid the sense of

For example, the frame team needs to build aframe for the car. However, they may want to look into a better suspension system than theprevious year’s team. With the drone capstone we (students and faculty) had no knowledge ofhow drones for agriculture were designed and built. This was in part why we structured ourgoals so that it would take multiple years to have a complete program from designing andbuilding to actually help farmers. In the first year we knew we needed a multispectral camera.That alone took up ½ the total budget for that particular year. They also knew that they

Some students said their campus Disability Resource Center (DRC) offices (orequivalents) would say they could offer note takers, but then the DRC would take weeks to findone [29]. Three articles specifically said that confidentiality of the disabled students’ identitieswas a problem when asking for note takers [28], [29], [37]. Other issues include poor qualitynotes, difficult-to-read handwriting, and note taker absenteeism [31], [34].Additionally, some authors worry that accommodations are giving people an unfair advantage.Multiple researchers thought that students doing too well with accommodations was a concern[38], [39].

Over time,a new form of pedagogy known as distance education or remote learning was created thatphysically separated educators and students in transferring knowledge. This was mainly due tothe advancement of technologies and the internet that created an important sector within theeducation system [2].

Here we take a more systemic view, looking at how a program can reassessits purpose or rationale in ways that better support preparing students to address the commongood.Another self-imposed constraint is that of pragmatism. By choosing to address the issue ofmoral and ethical responsibility at the program level, there needs to be substantive evidence thatchange is both possible and effective.
