As away of representing the diversity we desire in the profession, should we use a variety of caseswith a variety of characters, including cis and trans and the non-binary spectrum of gender? Dostudents have support elsewhere in the curriculum for learning about the non-binary genderspectrum to prepare them to respond in an engineering class? Would any of these approachesallow for more serious or inclusive discussions of both the ethical dilemma as well as gender biasor role schemas in the profession?

Overall, this research and case study contribute to the attention needed toaddress equity, inclusion, and representation challenges of black women in CS by highlightingissues faced when trying to develop and establish themselves in the field.1. IntroductionThe field of computer science (CS) has grown rapidly in recent years. Despite this progress,disparities in the industry persist, particularly for individuals from underrepresented groups. Forinstance, black women, who pursue CS as a career choice, experience significantunderrepresentation in the field. This underrepresentation is also reflected in the percentages ofblack women who are awarded Bachelor’s, Master’s, or their Doctorate in CS and related fields[12]. By examining challenges faced by

Also,online collaboration can facilitate peer assessment and peer learning. While it was found thatMiro was an effective learning tool in an engineering laboratory-intensive course, the smallsample size makes for the fact that these results cannot be generalized.

Given these large numbers and a tight curriculum focused ontechnical material, lecturers are usually not able (or willing) to allocate lecture, tutorial, or labtime for individual students or even groups of students to deliver oral presentations. In the finalyear, students are supposed to have more opportunities to improve their professional skills;however, with some class numbers surpassing 75 students, it is becoming impractical to allocatetime for oral presentations of individual or group projects.

responsibility for their own learning. Educators call this traditional method, “instructor-centered teaching.” In contrast, “learner-centered teaching” occurs when instructors focus on thelearner and authentic problems rather than on the structured analysis of the curriculum content(Blumberg 2008, Gunderman et al. 2003). If teacher’s primary focus is covering the content,students respond by memorizing the material with limited understanding. If the students are theones doing hard and messy work, then the understanding is deeper (Weimer, 2013). Learninginvolves active construction of meaning by the learner, who construct meaning by combining whatthey currently know with the new information that they are acquiring.
