Pedagogical, Curricular, and Institutional ReformIntroductionThis paper surveys and analyzes a range of progressive engineering reform efforts that extendfrom explicit concerns with social justice, or what Joe Herkert has usefully called questions of“macro-ethics” in engineering. 1 The paper categorizes these efforts and shows how they work atvarious levels of reform: material change through reforms in how and for whom technologies aredesigned; situated educational interventions, including both pedagogical and curricularexperiments; professional community-building interventions; and lastly scholarly contributionschallenging how “engineering” is typically understood and how new understandings mightprompt better attention to questions of social

undergraduate education is largely focused on the transmission of theories, empirically derived facts, and the disciplinary frameworks and methods used to create and interpret empirically derived information. Unfortunately, examining the ways in which students can use the information and analytic processes about which they are learning to create meaningful individual lives and positive social structures has largely been excluded. Such characteristics as wisdom, compassion, and integrity, and such concepts as justice, ethics, values, morality, virtue and character are ones that most undergraduates fail to consider because the curriculum does not encourage them to do so. 3In science and engineering
