However, thisdocument indicates that for more systemic change across STEM instruction, researchers need todevelop/evaluate pedagogical innovations that do not require substantial external funding ortime, and therefore can be easily adopted by other educators.1 This was one of the motivationsfor undertaking the study presented in this paper.The inquiry-based learning activities described in this paper address the necessity for engaging,student-centered experiences in the freshman civil/structural engineering curriculum with arelatively

In the first half of the course, students define identity (including race,ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and ability) and intersectionality, understand forms ofoppression (e.g., racism, white supremacy, sexism, misogyny, misogynoir, transphobia,homophobia, classism, and ableism), examine social justice movements to eradicate theseoppressions, and identify policies that exclude/protect identities (across both society andcomputing environments). In the second half, this knowledge is used to examine how technologyreplicates/amplifies these societal issues, the impact on identities, and tech-related policies.Identity-centered approachThe

This isdone by identifying the most appropriate and cost-efficient materials that will satisfy the designrequirements, and to make processes lean to reduce their cost. Both of these requirements makeit incumbent on the manufacturing engineer to lead in considering and evaluating alternativematerials and processes for any given application, and for manufacturing leadership to create theculture that fosters innovation and a positive change in the perception of manufacturing.The manufacturing engineer has an additional obligation, and that is to help design products thatare compelling to

These gaps limitstudents' abilities to innovate and develop socially-engaged engineering solutions.In this paper, we examine current engineering education research into these two issues, andexplore how further insight into these issues could be provided by the study of a specific sociallyengaged engineering practice, which we term grassroots design and engineering. In this practice,engineering problems that are not addressed, or are often ignored, by formal engineeringpractitioners, are solved by rural people not educated in engineering, and sometimes by formallytrained engineers who specifically focus on such problems.
