, citing thecriticisms of employers of engineering graduates who lacked communication skills, businessacumen, and “an understanding of men.” [sic]1Sir Eric Ashy writes in 1959 that he sees a higher purpose to a humanistic education, not just intaking specific courses, but in making sense of the technology the engineer employs in itswholeness, what he calls the essence of “technological humanism.”2Samuel Florman in 1968 provides five reasons for studying the liberal arts in the introductorychapter “The Civilized Engineer” of his book Engineering and the Liberal Arts. Three of thereasons are for the personal benefit for the engineer, including an appreciation of beauty,enhancing the imagination, and the development of leadership characteristics. Two

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

Current engineering initiativeshave responded to this challenge with toilet fairs and competitions showcasing cutting-edgetechnologies in the sanitation sector. That is, engineers have often approached this sanitationcrisis as well as other world problems from a technocentric perspective―the philosophy thatconsiders technology as capable of solving human problems.2 Technocentrism speaks to thecurrent outlook of engineering education. We as engineering students are trained to design andbuild technical solutions for world problems. Furthermore, this focus within

This is especially true of the Engineering isElementary (EiE) curriculum for grades K-8. EiE’s mission statement is “fostering engineeringand technological literacy for ALL elementary school-aged children.”16 The EiE curriculum issponsored by the National Center for Technological Literacy and is hosted by the Museum ofScience, Boston. Through curriculum development, research, and teacher professionaldevelopment, EiE disseminates engineering design-based curriculum for life science, earth andspace science, and physical science. The science focus in EiE is consistent with
