systems’” [7].Several previous studies have been devoted to studying trends surrounding social justice inengineering and to maintaining student engagement with the social surroundings of theirprojects. In one paper, George Catalano and Caroline Baillie explored the influence thatengineers have on justice and peace, concluding that engineering ethics should be expanded tothe overall social impact a product of engineering creates [8]. Catalano explores this further byexamining engineering ethics as described within different professional engineeringorganizations. He poses that the main issue with engineering ethics is the demand that anengineer should work to protect the public without a specific definition of who that includes.Rather, the author

students’ understanding. Ethics, for example, is often taught in civilengineering through the use of case studies. Further, case studies offer an opportunity forinterdisciplinary discussions centered on human dignity and justice goals [8] and likewisedevelop empathy for the users impacted by the project. Empathy is increasingly beingrecognized for the central role it may play in connecting crucial inter- and intrapersonal skillswith enhanced abilities to understand and productively work in multidisciplinary environmentswith diverse stakeholder groups [9]. Finally, some professors may not feel comfortable directlydiscussing race and related topics within an otherwise technical classroom environment; casestudies allow the emphasis to be taken off of

correlating with the students’ finalgrades, the discussion board learning analytics help instructors pinpoint students falling behindin their participation. Learning analytics collect an immense amount of data on student interactions. Despite theopportunity to make data-informed course development decisions, the required parsing toorganize and analyze the learning analytics is a time-intensive process. Therefore, education isneeded on the organization and analysis processes to inform instructors and eventually encourageuse of LMS learning analytics. Additionally, the availability of every students’ interaction dataon every course in an LMS establishes ethical and privacy concerns for students [31]. In highereducation, FERPA protects the

Addingsustainability tasks into their proposed designs encourages the students to think about the largerimpact of their projects.
