of such practice [7] [21]. Figure 1 illustrates these three tenetsof culturally relevant pedagogy and how they can inform the development of CBL models. Fig. 1. Connections across culturally relevant pedagogy and CBL.For engineering educators, critical consciousness has relevance in the emerging scholarshipsurrounding the unequal benefits of new technology (or, in extreme cases, its harmful effects)across social strata [22]. Recently, scholars have proposed models of CBL that directly addresssuch engineering “blind spots” through partnering with community stakeholders across theengineering design process, from needs-identification to implementation of solutions [23]. Thismodel can be translated into homework assignments that
