To address this, the authors recommend incorporating a formalcurriculum to facilitate students' understanding and articulation of their views on socialresponsibility in science and engineering research.

So, while the expressway achieved its goal of creating anefficient means to travel through the Bronx via automobile, it destroyed a community in theprocess.

First-Year StudentsIntroductionDiscussion of engineering curriculum development often focuses on technical knowledge andskills needed to prepare students to design engineering solutions. However, the context in whichthese solutions are applied is important as indicated in the first cannon in the National Society ofProfessional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics which states that "engineers shall hold paramountthe safety, health, and welfare of the public" [1]. The focus on preparing students for thetechnical demands of engineering design may lead to them not fully appreciating the societalimpact of engineering solutions.

may argue that in engineering, perhaps the same principles are discussed using differentterminology, for example, engineering ethics. It is true that most engineering programs have somecoverage of engineering ethics either as a stand-alone course or as content that is integrated withdesign projects and design activities in design-focused courses. This is a fair argument that needsto be explored further.Design Justice principles and a code of ethics are both frameworks for guiding designpractice, but they have some key differences. A code of ethics is a set of principles orguidelines that outline what is considered ethical behavior within a specific profession.

The block-schedule curriculum doesnot add more credits compared to a traditional curriculum, but instead uses the hours moreeffectively through restructuring (e.g., combining two separate thermodynamics courses offeredin consecutive terms into a single thermodynamics pillar course). This provides larger blocks oftime for students to actively engage in learning in the classroom with the support of the instructorand allows for a hands-on unit operations laboratory experience for five consecutive semestersfor the students in parallel with their core courses.Table 1 provides the sequence of courses and labs which make up our core curriculum.

Recent research hasshown that student interest and commitment to social responsibility declines as students’progress through their academic career [2] [17]. Furthermore, although the majority ofengineering curriculum includes considerable and meaningful ethics education, it often excludesdiscussion and connection to larger societal issues and social justice content [18].The importance of social justice has been echoed by many engineering organizations,corporations, and businesses through their mission statements, core values, diversitycommitments, and strategic initiatives.
