Especially for soon-to-beengineering graduates, job choices can have distinct social and ethical pressures from oneself,friends, family, and society given that engineering work can conflict with societal beliefs aboutwhat is “good” (i.e., manufacturing weapons for the military, mining for precious metals, drillingfor oil, etc.). Although what is “good” may differ from person to person, the engineeringprofession has a duty to society often referred to as social responsibility.

To date, most publications on equity-centered engineering course implementationsdescribe efforts in engineering design or ethics courses and modules. This may suggest that anequity lens is only or most relevant in those courses; however, if the goal is to promote students’capacity for equity-minded engineering practice, educators must center equity in a variety ofimpactful courses across students’ academic paths [17].

Undergraduateengineering education therefore needs to prioritize the diverse skills needed for complex problem-solving practice [1]-[3].

Others point to frames of thinking about people and communities,such as asset-based (i.e., vs. deficit-based) thinking and reflexive engagement [7]. More still,others point to the need for paradigmatic shifts in the ways engineers learn about and engagewith ethics education. For example, Devon and Van de Poel [10] argue for a “social ethics”paradigm, which centers “an examination of structure and process” and “involves socialrelations, their structure, and the norms and policies that characterize them” (p. 461).Herein, we adopt the social ethics paradigm to examine and describe the process by which wedeveloped
