,feeding to their fear about saying the wrong thing.The disconnect between the two groups often results in explicitly marginalizing classroomenvironments, i.e., environments where students feel unwelcome from blatantly marginalizing ordiscriminatory behaviors [1]. 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. To create implicitly inclusive environments, faculty are encouraged to acknowledgeand discuss such topics in their classes and

Wesuggest these resultant methods be used to create microinsertions of ethics and social impacts asone strategy for minimizing the technical/social dualism present in most curriculum [6], [7]which we hope will prove a rigorous strategy for the eventual full integration of sociotechnicalapproaches to problem solving in engineering education.IntroductionThere is a lack of consistency concerning integrating social impacts fully into technical lessons,modules, courses

towards JEDI in engineering practices. 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

Infrastructure Inequities: A Pilot StudyAbstractAs social justice issues facing our nation continue to be placed in the foreground of everydaylife, it is important to understand how undergraduate civil engineering students perceive andunderstand relations between social justice and our infrastructure systems. Additionally, as morecivil engineering undergraduate programs increase the emphasis on ethics and equity issues intheir curricula, we must also seek to understand students’ awareness of their influence, as civilengineering professionals, to improve infrastructure systems that contribute to injustice andinequity.This paper presents findings from a pilot study conducted as part of an NSF-funded grantimplementing cultural and curricular changes in a

Beyond therhetoric of research productivity, facilitating diversity in engineering programs and professionswould help raise individuals’ ethical awareness and commitment to engineering ethics. Previousstudies confirm that individuals from diverse life experiences and cultural backgrounds offervaried perspectives and help create a fertile ground for deeper reflections and perspectivechanges [2]. Students of color tend to be more aware of ethics and moral principles based ontheir lived experiences with social prejudices and inequity (Thoman et al., 2015). Therefore, theywill likely develop a strong ethical stance that challenges the observed

In contrast, many Indigenous civilizations are more closely aligned with what hasbeen called the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP), which adopts a more holistic, interdependentview of these relationships oriented more toward an ethic of care for the natural world rather thanconquest [5]. These paradigm differences are especially important in the context of engineeringeducation because the DSP positions engineering and the technology it produces as a tool forsubduing nature in the service of humanity [8]. Individuals who hold more closely to the NEPmay thus find themselves further marginalized and alienated within the field because they hold afundamentally different

Embracingneoliberalism, the focus of higher education has shifted from the pursuit of knowledge to theproduction of revenue.A culture of productivity has been previously characterized as the pervasive attitude thatengenders the result of labor as a commodity and values labor efficiency over an individual’sneeds, preferences, and well-being [9], [10].
