As we synthesize theliterature and our arguments across these levels, we also consider how equitable practices at anyone level reinforces equitable practices at the others. Envisioning socially just engineeringeducation requires thinking within and across all three of these levels.Macro Level Organization of Engineering for EquityEngineering for equity and social justice involves a recognition of the ideologies shapingengineering and the orientations that engineering has towards society. Historically, science andengineering have been shaped by ideologies that are technocratic and exclusionary, oftensubversively framed as rationalistic (Bazzul & Tolbert, 2019; Gravel et al., 2021; Gunckel &Tolbert

Forinstance, students involved in the program are likely to pursue a STEM-focused degree aftercompleting high-school, and are more likely to persist until degree completion than students whocomplete a more traditional K-12 experience (Bottoms & Uhn, 2007; Gottfried & Plasman,2018; Lee et al., 2019; Rethwisch et al., 2012; Robbins et al., 2014; Sorge, 2014; Starobin et al.,2013; Van Overschelde, 2013).Prior empirical investigations from the qualitative perspective have provided convergingevidence that the primary barriers to PLTW implementation are costs associated with

ASEE 2023Some of the key barriers to offering CS to elementary school students that have been foundinclude administrators are not supportive, teachers have not yet received training to teach CS, andresources for adoption remain low [4–7]. A key barrier that has been mentioned in past studies isthat teachers have no time to add an additional subject area to their day, particularly since they areimmersed in teaching to their state standards which more heavily emphasize language arts andmathematics [4].Integrating CS and computational thinking (CT) into subjects such as math and language arts hasbeen viewed as a way to mitigate the barrier related to time [8] and to create innovative learningenvironments [9].

students’ exposure to the four different realms of STEMduring secondary education. In turn, STEM degrees are not as prevalent in post-secondaryeducation as those from more established, traditional fields of study. The National Center forEducation Statistics (NCES) reports that of the 2 million bachelor’s degrees conferred during the2018-2019 period for US colleges, 6% (126,700) were in engineering, following behind business(19%), health-related programs (12%), and social sciences and history (8%) [12]. Similarly,more than 66% of the 1 million associate’s degrees awarded during the same period focused onone of three major areas of study: liberal arts and sciences, health professions, and business [13].There is a clear need to continue exposing

United States and the world,stakeholders, including NAE, NSPE, and ASEE, increasingly acknowledge the importance ofcreativity in engineering design. High school curricula are starting to introduce engineeringconcepts, including robotics, 3D printing, and the engineering design process. Traditionally,these technical concepts have been separated from opportunities to practice creativity andinnovation. In this setting, students are led to think that creativity and innovation are notcompatible with engineering design.The following paper evaluates the effectiveness of strategies geared toward encouragingcreativity and innovation in conjunction with the engineering design process to foster new,unique, or atypical approaches to engineering problems.
