It is important to learn about social and environmental justice in this class, to better recognize the connection between societal issues and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) course content. Q6. I feel I have a responsibility to help find solutions to social and environmental injustice.The Reading, Writing, and Reflection AssignmentThe general topic for the activity was the government response to natural or anthropogenicdisasters in the U.S., taking into consideration the location of the event and the socioeconomicstatus of the affected community. The response was defined as the time it took the government torespond to the catastrophe and the resources that were deployed to help

All of the first fivecurriculum modules are intended to be generally applicable to students from any engineering,computer science, or other technology design majors, and the design contexts defined in theframework align directly with the contexts described in the ABET Engineering AccreditationCommission’s student outcomes 2 and 4. In addition to the general understanding ofsustainability developed through these introductory modules, it is also critical that students learnto apply these concepts within their intended fields. In the remainder of the SaS Framework,students are introduced to the topics of systems thinking

These challenges can be addressed or exacerbated throughengineering activities, leading industry and agencies to increasingly seek engineers who are aswell-versed in technological expertise as they are in social and environmental sustainability andclimate action [3], [4], [5]. However, engineering students are not typically graduating with theskills, knowledge, and experiences needed to

The twoproject-based courses, as currently implemented, introduce the competencies and constructsexplored in this paper. Qualitative assessments related to the formation of engineering identityare being conducted over several years to compare students enrolled in the new project-basedclasses with similar cohorts not enrolled in the courses. Outcomes will be shared with otherprograms in the department (Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering Technology) aswell as with other departments considering new approaches to fostering faculty
