as an organizingvision. We then propose new engineering ethics canons centering on social justice as an exercisein ethical imagination. We conclude with a discussion motivating social justice as a value that allengineers can adopt, and consider how social justice might be practically operationalized inengineering ethics.To What Does the Profession of Engineering Aspire?Examinations of the social good to which the engineering profession aspires have given rise tonumerous compelling critiques. Scholars from different disciplines including engineering,philosophy and ethics, and science and technology studies have approached the issue fromdiverse angles, but in the end they tend to home in on the same general question: if the socialgood to which

engineers gain the knowledge and experience they need tocarry out their work, gradually developing their professional judgment and growing moreindependent.Materials ObstaclesThe second type of obstacle we discovered were materials obstacles. Materials obstacles are notunique to early career engineers—they can happen to anyone. One of the important insights ofresearch in Science and Technology Studies, particularly in the work of Latour and Callon(Callon 1984, Johnson [Latour] 1988), was to show how material objects participate in scientificknowledge creation or social life, often through resisting or redirecting human effort. Thisinsight laid the groundwork for a body of work on how the material world plays an importantrole in social and scientific
