This is the second time I have offered thecourse.Learning ObjectivesThese learning objectives are the ones I am anticipating for the next iteration of the course, asthey have changed over the course as I discovered my own blind spots. For example, eventhough I had committed one class period to discuss Whiteness and

can be difficult to internalizeand discuss in an open forum, the course builds towards these topics, starting out withrelatively easier topics (e.g. Mindset and Bloom’s Taxonomy) and moving towards issues ofbelonging and identity by the end of the 15-week semester.An important aspect of the course is that it is incorporated into the students’ general educationrequirements and is not an extra burden of credits taken in addition to required program andgeneral education coursework. RIT requires students to take a course that addressesidentification of ethical questions, and the Metacognition course addresses the outcomes andhas assessments that examine students’ ability to identify and address ethical scientificquestions through case study

beyond our departmental context extend to the accepted methods foreducating and preparing Generation Z students for a modern workforce that embraces diversity.Our results suggest that college students may view a group of peers with diverse identities asmore normal/expected than a group of peers with diverse academic and operational strengths.When educators begin from the assumption that interacting with diverse others is new oruncomfortable for students, the default orientation is to use what may prove to be antiquatedmethods on teaching interaction and diversity to today’s college students. A looming question that remains is whether this result can be replicated in engineeringdepartments and classrooms with a less diverse student body
