At LUC, this is possible because all27 U.S. Jesuit universities possess a core (general education) curriculum based on socialjustice. In 1974, Jesuit General Congregation (GC) 32 decided to take a more active role inalleviating poverty and injustice. In 2008, GC35 called on Jesuit universities “to promote studiesand practices focusing on the causes of poverty and the question of the environment’simprovement” [26, 27]. At the 12 U.S. Jesuit universities with ABET-accredited engineeringprograms, the mean number of core curriculum courses is 11 ± 2 courses. At 9/12 of these Jesuituniversities, including at LUC, a social justice-based ethics course is

theme, the Engineering and Humanities SIG hosted a roundtable“collaboratorium” consisting of four discussion topics related to transdisciplinary modes ofthought and practice in engineering education. These topics were: Sociotechnical thinking, whichis an approach to engineering work that recognizes engineering as simultaneously social andtechnical (e.g. [4]); Sociotechnical leadership, which acknowledges the opportunity forengineers to embrace positions of leadership to positively configure the technology-societyrelationship (e.g. [5]); STEAM, which is an educational paradigm that integrates arts practice intoscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics instruction (e.g. [6]); and Decolonization,which calls for radical transformations of

Thefirst is the obvious benefit of a liberal arts education to the engineering student [15]. Whileadvances in knowledge and technology are creating excitement in science and engineeringeducation, tomorrow’s engineer must also be able to write and communicate well; considerethics and social responsibilities; understand business; and live and work in teams as a globalcitizen. They must be able to think critically and problem-solve. The faculty of RMC pridesitself on producing graduates with all of these so-called “soft skills” as well as the breadth ofknowledge obtained by completing a large General Education

Our work investigates the influence of twosuch courses on student attitudes and motivation by gathering both qualitative and quantitativedata from students in two STEM-themed courses in WGSS and ethnic studies, “Gender andSTEM” and “Race and Technology.” We argue that in these courses students acquire skills thatenable them to critically reflect on both the socially constructed nature of STEM and on thehistorical patterns within engineering culture that exacerbate existing inequities and injusticedespite claims of “neutral” objectivity.

Were engineering educatorsto better recognize the importance of these relationships and contribute to creating such acommunity, they could help to ensure engineering students were able to thrive academically andemotionally.C. Absence of Harassment and Expression without FearIn the United States, harassment is a growing problem in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields [14]. Harassment can be verbal, physical, or sexual and include anyunwelcome or unfavorable behavior due to one’s identity (e.g., gender, race, age, religion).Harassment has adverse impacts on career outcomes

Speaking of interdisciplinary research integrating socialand technological innovation, Leo said “This needs to not be something that people are doing off the side of their desk as one more thing, as is so often the case with academia. So, it’s to recognize that we need a structure that enables folks who are serious about doing this [non-traditional research], to be able to not do some other things for a while, while they engage in doing this.” (00:10:55–00:11:10)In an example of a later phase of a problem-solving mindset, after defining this structural problemfor engineering faculty, Leo went on to suggest possible solutions to encourage more faculty toget involved with cross

Given the omnipresent nature of technology and its influence on ourlives, engineers must consider the ethical, environmental and sociological impacts of their work,and some engineering programs are considering new pedagogical methods and broaderframeworks to engage students in macroethics, sociotechnical thinking and engineering for

Framing engineering as a humanistic vocation which can be a notable function of a liberal artseducation, has the potential to develop and sustain pro-social beliefs among students and also contributeto their holistic formation as individuals and professionals.There have been voices predicting that engineering will be the liberal arts of the 21st century given theincrease in technology

Industrial transformation and technological upgrading that threaten traditionalindustries, as well as the slowing down economy due to the Covid pandemic, caused anxietiesamong early career engineers about their job security.Crises resulted from personal strugglesThis dimension mainly illustrates the incompatibility with work that resulted from early careerengineers’ own physical and psychological reactions, including physical repulsion, grievance, andself-confusion. First, some early career engineers noted their physical repulsion at the work environment. Forexample, a process development engineer said
