Twenty-first century engineeringeducators have been mindful of ABET’s EC2000 student outcomes a-k, including ethicalunderstanding, the ability to communicate effectively, and “the broad education necessary tounderstand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, andsocietal context.”2 Engineering educators who struggle to help students achieve these ABETlearning outcomes might consider working together with liberal arts faculty to integrateengineering with humanities understanding.

It is established incultural economic, individual, philosophical, scientific and social advancement. In other words,education is the mean for developing the mind for the betterment of the individual and society.Advances in science and technology mean that the world will continue to change rapidly, so thatthe knowledge learned by students in specific careers will have a short lifespan. In contrast, thosewho achieve a general engineering education will develop adaptive skills, which will serve themwhile their

This curriculum approach cultivates students’ ways of thinking and being andcan help develop more independent and critically thoughtful engineers.​10​ To design such acurriculum, the first step is to define overall program goals.

Here we pay specific attention to defining theintersections of interpersonal violence (intentional violence between people) and structuralviolence (the violence of social structures and institutions). Finally, we use interview data fromengineering undergraduates enrolled in Programs in Design and Innovation at the RensselaerPolytechnic Institute to make suggestions for curricular reform.Literature ReviewIn 2016, social scientists Diego Gambetta and Steffen Hertog published the controversial book,Engineers of Jihad: The Curious Connection

reflection depends on the instructor’smotivation for introducing reflection in the first place. While assessment seems appropriate forreflections geared towards understanding of course content, integration of bodies of objectiveknowledge, and application of foreign bodies of objective knowledge to the field of engineering,it could be argued, as sources indicate above, that with other purposes – such as personaldevelopment or self-assessment – students would be more truthful if they did not anticipate beingassessed or even needing to turn in their reflections. However, one must keep in mind the pointalready cited: assessment, even of subjective reflections, may help students improve theirreflection skills.c) Factors in Successful ReflectionA number

interacting points of view) alongside discussions of“objectivity.” Integrating conversation architectures that value and develop intersubjectivestatements allows multiple perspectives to come out so teams can take advantage of them in theirwork. Open Sentences also allow students to share their personal interests and values; connectingwith these inner interests can increase their intrinsic motivation [15].Open Sentences can lead to emotionally vulnerable spaces when students share their values,motivations, and fears. In our experiences, engineering curricula do not typically provide manyspaces for the development of affective skills, and facilitators should keep this in mind. Forinstance, it may be helpful to use a progression of Open Sentences that
