Another good example is the e-waste issue we had talked about in the beginning of this semester. People in the first world are always attracted to more advanced electronics. But the technological development in the electronic industry driven by this consumerism will lead to more e-waste that has to been dealt with by the third country.

Efforts toencourage engagement with public welfare, sociotechnical thinking, or social justice amongengineering students often begin - and sometimes end - with illuminating the broader context ofengineering practice and problems. For socially minded engineering educators, contextualizationis nearly always a virtue.This paper analyzes and critiques practices of contextualizing engineering. Based on a qualitativecontent review of recent engineering education literature, we first describe and classify differentmodes of contextualization.
