engineers, students will be comforted to know they can achieve success inengineering and be prepared for the issues they will face in the field. By including social contextfor engineering design, the next generation of engineers will create socially conscious designs andfight for equity in their future careers. This inclusion of social context should be in the forms ofcase studies, debates, or role play, capstone projects rather than just historical examples, whichwill teach students how to critically think about such issues and consider ways in which largersocial structures serve to empower or disenfranchise people. Furthermore, education shouldinclude inclusivity training to discuss issues of equality and inclusion, including gender equity inthe
