education programs found that engineering educators often attribute engineering project failures to technical, communication, or cultural issues and overlook the oppressive systems that could contribute to a pattern of failures across projects.I nstead, students have expressed frustration with only being shown cases of failure[21]and wanting examples of success stories. HE students have expressed “just wanting to know what to do" when encountering complex ethical and ambiguous questions. Further, without clear answers, they express frustration and disengagement from discussion topics around systematic oppression[5]. Other scholarship has shown studentsdropping out of engineering spaces when

-world problem-solving, students, professionals, and all who are engaged must understandthe context of the problem. Contextual understanding is rooted within disciplines of the socialsciences such as history, geography, civics, and more. Dually important is how the engagedproblem-solvers relate to the context as a sense of place or their relation to community. Theneeds of our communities guide real-world problem-solving. The increasingly urgentenvironmental, ethical, and social justice exigencies require a critical rethinking of education,particularly STEM education. This opens educational opportunities for situating learners incritical, agentive roles and supporting their tackling of challenges and controversies usingreal-world tools in

destroyed. This separated communities and decreased the value of the properties because it’s by a noisy highway. I saw through this lab first hand some of the houses that used to be where Highway 75 now is. In CIVE 101, I learned more in depth how the highway being built there affected the community and reinforce the consequences of redlining from the presenter who came and talked about redlining, and the exhibit we went to on Dodge Campus. This matters because redlining is an unfortunate truth about our city’s history, and it still affects the city, and the people in the city, today. It matters to me as a civil engineer because as a civil engineer, it is my job to uphold the ethics that we

Studies have found that participating in this organization supports the developmentof professional skills such as teamwork, leadership [13], project management [14], appreciationfor other cultures, and increased awareness of the role of ethics in engineering [15], while notdiminishing any technical competencies [16]. EWB-USA has also been found to serve as a multi-faceted retention tool for engineering students, particularly women [14]. However, previousstudies have not specifically investigated the views of the program’s alums, and a study of anothercommunity engagement program called EPICS found that alums of that program often developedsignificant new insights
