In shiftingour perspective to view students’ resistance to change as meaningful and justified reactions tosituations we put them in, we can begin to question our implicit assumptions about what is fairand ethical in curricular design and innovation in engineering education.Background: Local ContextFor Year 2 (Y2) pilot implementation of Engineering Math​, the decision was made to make theclass mandatory for all students entering the college who, based on an standard incoming mathplacement exam among other

Though we see engineering ethics as related butdistinct from our interests in sociotechnical integration, we look to this work as an example ofbringing together historically disparate considerations such as ethics and the technical side ofengineering work.Engineering ways of thinking were also analyzed in a case study by Godfrey on engineeringculture in an Australian university that had previously undergone a curriculum and culturaloverhaul.

Open-endedproblem solving, i.e., engineering judgment, then, is the ability to navigate the complexity ofopen-ended problems. Paretti et al. [7] defines engineering judgment as students’ ability to weighcosts and benefits to select among competing options based on disciplinary values andstakeholders’ values.

Research on engineering culture suggests that we must look inside theengineering classroom in order to understand why engineering in the U.S. remains largely whiteand largely male [2], [3]. In order to successfully increase diversity in engineering in asustainable and ethical way, we must not only examine but work to change the culture ofengineering. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated challenges around diversityand inclusion in engineering, but also provided an opportunity to either challenge or uphold thedimensions of engineering culture as courses and programs underwent rapid change.
