Paper ID #24893Design and Implementation of an Engineering for Social Justice CurriculumDr. Dianne Grayce Hendricks, University of Washington Dr. Dianne Hendricks is a Lecturer in the Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering and the Director of the Engineering Communication Program at the University of Washington. She designs and teaches courses involving universal design, technical communication, ethics, and diversity, equity and inclusion. She co-founded HuskyADAPT (Accessible Design and Play Technology), where she mentors UW students in design for local needs experts with disabilities and also leads outreach
initiatives[27]–[29]. At UNL COE there are many initiatives aimed at augmenting engineering education to includenot just technical skills, but also leadership, intercultural appreciation, teamwork, self-management,service & civic responsibility, and understanding of engineering ethics [30]–[33]. Our interdisciplinary team includes a variety of engineering disciplines, student services staff toimplement direct support efforts, and a social science researcher who is expert in broadening participationresearch and evaluation. Further, our team is likely to be successful due to having broad institutionalsupport at the college level. This effort has strong potential to be successful and lead ultimately to a morediverse college across multiple

However, these students aspire to besuccessful against all odds, have an elevated work ethic, and employ a heightened level ofleadership, teaming, and communication. These assets can be invaluable for student veterans andtheir peers as they pursue careers in engineering. Results thus indicate that student veterans’military time and training do lend themselves as useful tools in navigating the transition toundergraduate engineering and ensuring success as engineering students. The identification ofthese unique skills and challenges affords us a better chance to understand these aspects oftransition and to facilitate change that better supports future student veterans with
both Mathematics instruction as well as Physics instruction during summer bridge instead of last, which is when it was taught previously. This way, students had foundational skills to learn physics concepts and apply trigonometry concepts in the process of solving physics problems. New - Engineering Humanities A mechanical engineering professor, who serves as the faculty advisor for the Engineering GoldShirt Program, taught a Humanities in Engineering class during summer bridge to encourage students to be mindful of the humanitarian impact on engineering designs and projects. Case studies included the burning tower in London and the ethical decisions made by engineers who designed the tower
) Introduction to the Guide with Scenarios that Illustrate Successes or ChallengesParticipants will be prompted to open their Critical Research Questioning Guides.A note on the guide: we at CERSE created this list of questions, that is meant to hold usaccountable to research with integrity. An Institutional Review Board serves the purpose ofprotecting research participants and centering research ethics. Our aim is to go a step further, andexamine how our research is achieving social justice aims (or not). Often we will ask ourselves these 3sorts of questions informally, but in this workshop, we are inviting you to help flesh out a guide formaking

Taking this course was motivated by my experiences in a course on decolonizingmethodologies in education. This course shook me in a way that made it clear that colonialismand white-centered ideologies were at work in educational settings. There I had the space toquestion for whom science has been created, and why issues of representation dig much deeperthan getting minority individuals into science disciplines. Moreover, I got to be in space where Iwas truly uncomfortable because of my whiteness. Coming into this course, I hoped to find morespaces to be uncomfortable and

States Culture includes reflections wherein participants drewconnections to home by comparing or contrasting their experiences abroad with their experiencesback home (locally or nationally). Many students drew connections to everyday elements of lifeback home, like food, coffee, alcohol, transportation, stores, and universities. Others mentionedbuying souvenirs for friends or family back home, and one participant, Ian, mentioned wantingto bring his family to places he visited. Additionally, Matthew made several comparisonsrelating to work ethic between the countries he visited and the United States. He describeddisdain for the perceived alcohol culture among locals and general “laziness” he observed in thecountries he visited, drawing
