students toinclude their lived experience and reframe engineering as a sociotechnical field.At the same time, the engineering industry projects itself to be more reluctant to shift to thisreframing [11], [12]. There is frequent news in the media about large technology companiesprioritizing benefits over the safety of minoritized users, the welfare of their employees, and thewell-being of the planet [35], [36], [37]. While the news does not represent the wholeengineering industry, it can influence how engineering students perceive what the industryvalues. This image of the engineering industry being built within a capitalist system [38] andbeing inattentive to social justice issues begs the question of how engineering students aremaking sense of

: ● Technology is not inevitable and does not always improve society. Engineering and computing are subjective, require judgment, and require tolerating uncertainty – there is never one right solution or decision. ● Data, algorithms, and technology are neither neutral nor objective. Technology embodies the dominant values of society and the creators who design it, which tends to reproduce and/or exacerbate existing inequalities. 3 ● The effects of technology are unevenly felt across groups of people and more-than-human actors. Who/what benefits and who/what is harmed typically aligns with historical

They must engage in expansive thinking, which entails breaking freefrom “status quo narratives and attend[ing] to science and technology from a human-centered,systems-level perspective” (Radoff et al, 2022, p. 2). This breaking free requires engineeringstudents to rethink what socio-political and economic values and perspectives are being includedin engineering from the standpoint of social justice and equity. For students, opportunities toquestion dominant narratives and values prevalent in engineering design can prompt acutefeelings of uncertainty around the process and outcomes of engineering work (Baillie &Armstrong, 2013).In our

Inthe early 2000s, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) set effectivecommunication as one of the evaluation criteria for engineering programs [1]. However, severalresearchers identified a gap between employer expectations and new engineering graduates’ oraland written communication abilities in the workplace [2], [3]. The disparity is probably driven byengineering students and faculties’ perception; that is, engineering is a technically
