Not addressing these challenges can thus hinder institutions’ ability to developsocially and environmentally responsible engineers. Due to technological and scientificdevelopments, the engineering curriculum is frequently expected to cover more and moretechnical content, which makes the incorporation of other aspects more challenging [10]. Ahorizontal integration of social and environmental justice is an effective approach to dealing withthis issue, and it simultaneously helps defuse faculty resistance to non-technical content[11,12,13].

In fact, many of the ideas presented by theassociation are extracurricular in nature, which has been found to be ineffective for reachingengineering graduate students, according to meta-synthesis [1]. While librarians are oftenspecialized in the areas engineering graduate students lack and seek personal mentorship in, theyare often stuck in providing that support by ineffective means. The typical engineering curriculum does not have courses on research methods, few havecourses on research integrity or publication ethics, proposing research, writing, peer reviewing,or how your worldview influences your research [4, 5].
