Because of the need for further praxis inliberatory engineering education as a pedagogical imperative, and the limited, almost nonexistentengagement between the topics we place in conversation (pedagogy, critical thinking, liberationpraxis and theory), this paper aims to initiate and catalyze attention on the subject matter, but itwill not aim to resolve some of the questions it opens. Rather, we emphasize the importance ofliberatory theory and praxis for contemporary engineering education and, then, suggest somecriteria that might guide praxis and broader shifts in pedagogical strategies. To that end, weintend for the project to prompt further research and discussion on these topics.Engineering

Grounded in a richliberal arts tradition, Wake Forest University (WFU) launched a new engineering program in2017 with a strong commitment to this practice of authentically integrating engineeringfundamental knowledge to rich liberal arts knowledge. Together, we believe this combination ofknowledge leads to better engineers. After all, four out of the seven ABET Student Outcomesthat every accredited program must meet is inherently connected to liberal arts knowledge.

This line ofinquiry is relevant to issues of representation in engineering schools: the socio-technical divideimpacts undergraduate engineering retention, especially students from historicallyunderrepresented groups in engineering (e.g. women, students of color, LGBTQIA, indigenous1people, and low-income) [5]. A recurring justification for upholding the socio-technical divide(that we have heard voiced during discussions about engineering curricula and that we want tointerrogate) is that technical content would have to be sacrificed in order to accommodate socialjustice issues. Therefore, a project in which students add context to traditional engineeringscience problems has the transformative potential of reaching students

For example, in the sentence “We need some more hands on the project,” hands refer to people.• Analogy is a broad category encompassing any figure of speech involving a comparison of domains [32], and therefore, metaphor is “a species” of analogy [3].
