planning to start engineering at Loyola University Chicago (LUC), the new Director decidedto integrate social justice with engineering in the curriculum. This decision seemed a naturalextension of Jesuit universities’ emphasis on social justice. LUC’s BS Engineering Scienceprogram began the following year in August, 2015.BackgroundIn his 1968 survey for ASEE, Liberal Learning for the Engineer, Sterling Olmsted counted 93engineering schools that had initiated programs in liberal studies in the last three years. By 1973,as a result of this report, almost 200 technical colleges experimented with curricula to address thesocial implications of technology. Two curricular approaches included “humanizing”engineering through interdisciplinary education and

The ASMEVision 2030 [3] states that the problems that mechanical engineers work on often includeelements of other engineering disciplines, require systems thinking in problem formulation andsolution, and asserts that we must educate engineering students for a technological era ofincreased scope, scale, and complexity. However, this directive requires greater sophistication incurricular design, providing an interface between basic science and engineering at the systemslevel, and leadership for innovation. As industry relationships continue to inform curricularneeds, expertise related to
considerations in engineeringproblem-solving, what “real” engineering entails, and what tasks and areas of expertise are mostvaluable [10].The professional culture of engineering exists across the many sectors and industries in whichengineers are employed, but it is particularly potent within higher education. It is here where thenext generation of profession members—engineering students—are socialized into this cultureand learn to “become” engineers, “think like” engineers, and to problem solve in an “engineeringway” [11-12].At first blush, abstract beliefs within the professional culture may seem a degree removed fromthe day-to-day processes of inequality within engineering departments. Why would abstractbeliefs about technological objectivity or

The National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) [4] and National Science Foundation (NSF) [10] have devoted resources andattention to improving the ethics education of students. This includes both microethics, orindividual responsibilities, and macroethics, addressing the “role of engineers in societalimplications about technology” and the broader societal and environmental responsibilities of theprofession [11].Although accreditation requires some degree of ESI education [7,8], the precise nature is notconstrained and seems to be largely at the discretion of individual programs and their faculty.Lattuca and Stark’s Academic Plan Model [12] describes faculty teaching choices.

increasinglydiverse workplace [1]. For the United States to maintain its innovation edge and ensure it canattract high technology jobs, educators must make sure engineering graduates are both highlytechnical and have the professional skills needed to compete in a modern global economy andglobal workforce.Other universities across the country have also recognized the importance of developing andassessing the professional skills modern graduates’ need to be successful. For example, Beard,Schwieger, and Surendran, from Southeast Missouri State University, discuss the use of exitexams, exit interviews, class projects, portfolios, and surveys to develop and assess not onlystudents’ technical skills, but also their professional skills [2]. Hall and Bryant discuss

Stanford University [5]introduces a student-led course in learning sustainable design through service. Thisprogram’s goals are to (a) develop students’ iterative design skills, project managementand partnership-building abilities, sustainability awareness, cultural sensitivity, empathy,and desire to use technical skills to promote peace and human development, (b) helpdeveloping communities ensure individuals’ human rights via sustainable, culturallyappropriate, technology-based solutions, and (c) increase Stanford University’sstewardship of global

), and engineering work as devoid of power relations. Critiques of this stance are resonant with insights from science and technology studies, documenting that engineering culture is dominated by technological determinism (Smith and Marx, 1994), a loose cluster of cultural narratives stating that technological development inevitably leads to progress, technical experts know best how to govern new technologies, technology homogenizes cultures, and society adapts to technology rather than shapes it. Over the last few decades, engineering education scholars have begun to elaborate how technocracy does harm in engineering education. Cech (2014) argued that, over engineering
