Recognizing and Addressing Unintended Bias in Engineering Education
Description
A Useful, Effective, and Comprehensive Framework for Educators!
In this webinar faculty will learn how to recognize unintended bias and will practice addressing unintended biases that typically occur within engineering learning environments.
There are three videos in this mini-series on unintended bias in Engineering Education.
If you're unfamiliar with unintended bias or would like a refresher, two brief prerecorded presentations by our facilitators will bring you up to speed.
Video 1: Dr. Goodwin's recording is entitled, "What ARE Unintended Biases?" In her presentation, Dr. Goodwin distills and shares research on the cognitive processes that lead to biases and consequences for equity and inclusion in engineering.
Video 2: Dr. Cross' recording is entitled, "Unintended Bias in Engineering Education." In her presentation, Dr. Cross walks you through 3 case examples to assist you in the exploration of bias as it is embedded in common engineering education interaction.
Video 3: Drs. Goodwin and Cross joined us in a joint webinar to discuss the following:
- Explore examples of unintended biases common in engineering education
- Participate in a debriefing process to help address and reduce unintended bias
- Examine identity and its relationship to bias
- Learn resources to develop bias reduction strategies that fit YOUR educational context
