These approaches shift the power relationships traditionally established ininterview settings and allowed student participants to shape the direction of their interviews andstorytelling.In this paper, we first describe the central ethical and justice challenges to soliciting andengaging BIPOC students in research about their experiences. After describing the goals of thestudy, we explain two key strategies that allowed us to address these challenges in our datacollection: 1) Use of boundary objects to elicit participants narratives, and 2) the integration ofparticipatory urban planning methods.We show sample data sets to explain the ways our methods provided opportunities to learn morefrom students, to gain a comprehensive
humankind unique, both individually and as a species, remains unclear. Advances in neuroscience and computer science, as well as ethics, generate questions about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and personhood and the rights and protections associated with being human. In this course students tackle classic readings from Descartes to modern ruminations on artificial intelligence, examine our relation to our creations and pets, and the way our various identities affect how our personhood is perceived and protected.Some basic information from the course syllabus is described below.Broad Topics covered 1. Basic neuroscience 2. Distinctions between humans and nonhumans 3. Emotional connection and dependencies between

Inviting input from educators and students fromdiverse backgrounds in the development of such systems may help to prevent the negative impactof algorithmic bias. 30 Further work in each of these areas has the potential to greatly improve theimpact CPI platform on student users’ knowledge of STEM+C as well as their future academicand career interests development at scale.

investigated further. The demographics of the alumni respondents matched the expectations of the researchteam based on the demographics of Lipscomb [17] and the engineering field [18]. Additionally,because white males represent the majority of engineering jobs, data from this group will behighly useful to understanding inclusion perspectives in the workplace. Of note, however, is theimpact that underrepresented groups may have on inclusivity in engineering. McGee and Bentleydescribe how black and Latinx undergraduate STEM students develop an equity ethic or aconcern for social justice based on past suffering from inequities [19]. It’s possible thatunderrepresented groups in engineering feel a desire for inclusivity because of an equity ethic

Engineers with an eye toward value creation understand stakeholder needs, learn from failure, and habitually work to provide benefits while understanding the consequences of their actions.” (Melton & Kline, n.d.) “Human value is defined as ‘What is important to people in their lives, with a focus on ethics and morality.’” (Friedman & Hendry, 2019)The instructors selected four of the stakeholders identified by the class as examples. On a newJamboard, students listed possible values specific to those selected stakeholders. The next step was to discuss how societal norms are the way values are implemented orexpressed in a particular society. They can vary based on many factors such as the culture of theparticular

Over the course of the series, the origin of each branch of engineering was discussed,followed by discussion of core concepts of conservation, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heatand mass transfer, materials, statics, safety and ethics. The series then described applications ofthe different engineering fields, including robotics, genetic engineering, and signal processing, aswell as specific extensions of core engineering fields, such as transportation and geotechnicalengineering. The series concluded with an explanation of engineering design, careers inengineering, and the future problems to be solved.

The ABET General Criterion 3, student outcome (c), requires thatstudents demonstrate “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needswithin realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health andsafety, manufacturability, and sustainability” [1]. The ABET General Criterion 5 states that“Students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in a majordesign experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work andincorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints” [1].

In order to fill thiscapacity, engineers should be trained not only in technical skills, but also in appropriatetechnologies, knowledge transfer and education processes, culture and community assessment,policy and governance, economic processes and valuation, environmental science, and ethics andsocial justice. Several of our own studies demonstrate how framing engineering educationaround a developing world experience is a positive experience for student learning (e.g.,Mihelcic and

Thefirst canon of the National Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics commands thatengineers shall “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public [5].” However,market demands mostly from for-profit corporations and military contractors, and unique laborpractices, have made engineers shift priorities away from the
