Could aspects of engineeringeducation make one more comfortable within systems of domination? Or, might the rigidconformist nature of engineering education make it more attractive to those with suchtendencies?Technological development has historically accelerated under authoritarian regimes, including thedesign and implementation of some of the most violent technologies in history.

Second, we explore thisconceptual framework empirically by analyzing how engineering students perceive andexperience civic responsibility in the first-year curriculum at a large Mid-Western University inthe United States.BackgroundThe term “responsibility” often implies accountability [8]. Here we briefly discuss the limitationsof focusing on individual responsibility and accountability in engineering ethics. We then arguethat a focus on civic responsibility can address these limitations.Responsibility and individual accountabilityEngineers develop technologies through complex and

Social, Technical… and Environmental?: Addressing Environmental Entanglements as Part of Engineering EducationAbstractTraining students to be sensitive to the entanglements of technologies and social life has been animportant move for engineering educators interested in advancing generative critiques ofengineering, connecting to student values, and framing new perspectives about what engineeringcan be. However, scholarship in Science and Technology Studies (STS) and EnvironmentalHumanities makes the case that engineering is more than sociotechnical. Environmentalconditions, forces, and agents are critical to consider in relation to technologies, too.In this paper, we suggest that introducing students to engineering as a social, technical

technology can solve. Once students settle on a technical topic, they work to develop a practical scope anddepth that refines the topic. For example, a student who expresses interest in the problem ofclimate change is encouraged to focus on a sub-issue such as rising sea levels or deforestation. Astudent interested in pursuing new and innovative solutions for amputees is encouraged to focuson lower or upper body amputations, not both. Refinement of the student’s topic enables amanageable scope and a depth that is ideal for a technical talk given to a wide audience. The goals of the topic proposal are for students to clearly communicate a specific societalproblem that can be solved or lessened by an engineering solution, to cite a
