processes to the market [6]. In engineering education, innovationis often associated with creativity and entrepreneurship, with programs aiming to cultivate futureinnovation leaders [3,7]. Research has shown strong correlations between students' self-ratedinnovation skills and abilities and factors such as creativity, product development, start-upprocesses, leadership, and financial value [8]. However, the characteristics and behaviorsassociated with innovation may vary across industries, job types, and disciplines. Dyer et al. [9]identified questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting as key innovative behaviors,which may manifest differently depending on the context. Additionally, different types ofinnovation, such as technological
technologies inengineering, and design for extreme (and extraterrestrial) habitats. Innovative activities includeusing drones for aerial photography and mapping, identifying tension and compression loads bybuilding a 3D bridge model, tours to Purdue’s innovative research facilities, reviewing theinfrastructure around them and proposing novel improvements, and participating in activities inthe classroom like debates about autonomous vehicle and jigsaw activities.

At LUC, this is possible because all27 U.S. Jesuit universities possess a core (general education) curriculum based on socialjustice. In 1974, Jesuit General Congregation (GC) 32 decided to take a more active role inalleviating poverty and injustice. In 2008, GC35 called on Jesuit universities “to promote studiesand practices focusing on the causes of poverty and the question of the environment’simprovement” [26, 27].

At 9/12 of these Jesuituniversities, including at LUC, a social justice-based ethics course is
