the expressway waswhere thousands of people lived. So, while the expressway achieved its goal of creating anefficient means to travel through the Bronx via automobile, it destroyed a community in theprocess. As a result, 5,000 residents were displaced from 1,500+ apartments, 113 streetsreworked, housing prices plummeted, and unemployment skyrocketed, to name a few of thenegative consequences. The alternative route suggested by engineers and community memberswould have displaced only a total of nineteen families—with the demolition of the Third Avenuetransport depot and six dilapidated tenement brownstones according to Journalist, Robert Caro.This goes beyond the efficiency of the design of the expressway and centers on ethical concerns.Civil

The data demonstrates that faculty are interested in developingimplicitly inclusive classrooms but fear that their lack of expertise on these topics will lead tofailure and having a negative impact on students. However, students voiced strong support andinterest in having faculty discuss and teach about inclusivity and ethics in their engineeringclassrooms.

Engineering students are often unaware of howengineering intersects with aspects of social justice due to the way they learn engineering. As aresult, they develop an apathy toward social and ethical considerations. To address this issue, theauthors of this paper designed a one-credit elective course. This course was offered to studentspursuing engineering and engineering technology degrees at the Rochester Institute ofTechnology.

classrooms have long been sites of both struggle and possibility,where technical expertise can be cultivated alongside a critical understanding ofsocietal inequities and the systemic challenges faced by marginalizedcommunities. The integration of social justice and sustainability into engineeringeducation reflects a growing recognition that engineers are not just problem-solvers but also ethical actors with responsibilities to society and the environment.This transformative vision aligns with the Engineering for One Planet (EOP)framework, which equips engineering educators with tools to embedsustainability, equity, and justice into their curricula.

, Objective 1 work has involved literature review and individual interviews withengineering educators. There is more literature on equitable pedagogy (e.g., [2], [5], [6], [10],[14], [22], [23], [25] - [28]) than on equity-centered engineering content (e.g., [7], [8], [11], [13],[17] - [21], [29] - [31]), though we argue that both are necessary in order to prepare students tobe equity-oriented in their engineering practice. Additionally, there are different approaches tocentering equity in engineering courses, e.g., sociotechnical content (e.g., [7], [9], [12]),Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) curricula (e.g., [19], [31]), macro-ethics (e.g.,[18]), universal design (e.g., [17]), engineering for social justice (e.g., [8], [13], [15

. Sociotechnical thinking, defined as engaging “the interplay betweenrelevant social and technical factors in the problem to be solved,” encourages students toapproach engineering challenges holistically, integrating technical analysis with societal,cultural, and ethical considerations [17]. This perspective seeks a more inclusive and sociallyresponsible approach to engineering, challenging traditional paradigms and expanding students’critical thinking. By engaging students with sociotechnical thinking by way of the ambiguities inherent ingeophysical methods in such cases and then collecting their responses, this study explores howengineering students perceive and respond to the integration of diverse ways of knowing andcultural knowledge systems

1Engineering Just Futures: Preparing Engineers to Integrate Technical, Sociocultural, and Environmental Perspectives [Work in Progress]Engineers of the future need to not only be technically skilled but also able to address complexproblems that include social, cultural, ethical, and environmental dimensions. Undergraduateengineering education therefore needs to prioritize the diverse skills needed for complex problem-solving practice [1]-[3]. Traditionally, undergraduate engineering education programs havefocused on technical training in the engineering sciences, to the exclusion of broader concerns [4]-[6]. There are, however, a growing number of programs that aim to expand engagement withsocial, cultural, and environmental

Particularly, students will learn about the historical temporal dimension of engineering and social justice through a series of case studies, recognizing that the impacts of engineering span multiple generations, irrespective of whether these effects are positive or negative. This realization will empower students with a sense of continuity and a need for collective efforts, it will enable them to break the barriers of individual accountability, micro-ethics, and direct causality commonly established in engineering practice [17]. This mindset shift acknowledges the need for continued social justice work beyond individual lifetimes, fostering a sense of interconnectedness and

offer support for schools in which engineeringcourses can not be implemented thoroughly due to lack of engineering education professionals orresources [10, p. 21]. However, in this framework the relationship between engineering designand technology with societal impact is framed under the concept of professionalism, referring toengineering ethics. The framework goes so far to state that, “technology by itself is neutral anddoes not affect people or the environment. However, it is the way in which people develop anduse technology that determines if it is helpful or harmful” [10, p. 74]. Such a statement removesresponsibility of harm from the engineers by displacing impact onto the users. In this project, we are working to integrate youth

As a consequence, socioscientific issues have become a focal point forresearch attention by experts in argumentation, ethics, and science education more broadly; anunsurprising development given the area’s potential to not only improve the conceptualunderstanding but also transform learners
