Engineering students, becoming competitive in
ideologies [3]; these perspectives are also alignedwith Radoff et al.’s description of narrow thinking [13]. Previous research has looked at howundergraduate engineering students align with these common narratives in interviews and focusgroups with students [10, 13], surveys [19], student classwork [15], and whole class discussions[7, 14]. The four common narratives that are pertinent to this study are technocracy, free marketidealism, technological neutrality, and technological determinism.Technocracy is a decision making approach guided by the belief that all problems can andshould be solved through technology [21]. Here, technological solutions are privileged, oftenwith little consideration of the social, political and historical context of the

, maintaining health, expressing humanity throughthe arts, and experiencing joy has been a major trend throughout human history. At the sametime, engineering has also been used for destructive purposes, including the development of toolsand processes that subjugate and inflict violence upon humans, other living things, and theenvironment. A critical juncture in the path that engineering has taken occurred during the 2ndWestern Industrial Revolution from the mid 1800’s to the early 1900’s. During this time,enterprises for capitalist accumulation of wealth and power came to dominate the field ofengineering and engineers became wedded to the interests of corporate capitalism. Today thelegacy of this shift persists. While there continue to be engineers

After self-reflection on the material basis of consciousness (see above), our HESstudents begin developing critical awareness of what they can and cannot do to change thematerial conditions and social relations in communities they want to serve.

Externally we identified fivesubcategories of objectives: complete a project successfully, design structures, restore power,supervise contractors’ performance, and control energy costs. Internally, we identified foursubcategories: improve equipment performance, develop standards, support and develop theteam, and manage and develop career (see Appendix 2, Table 3.2). For example, one of themajor objectives of the work was designing, building, and maintaining a regional energyinfrastructure for the purpose or outcome of delivering power to that regions group of customers.This objective was presented

In doing so, they develop a framework to further understand therole of ideology in learning through changes in the range of ideological stances salient toreasoning in a shared activity [9]. They define ideological convergence as the “the narrowing ofthe field of ideological stances that are salient and seen as useful as individuals participating in ajoint activity”, and ideological divergence as the corresponding expanding of ideological stances.They note ideological convergence is not
