Universities hope tograduate ethical engineers, but may not have intentionality about the education towards civicresponsibility. Lin and Hess[2] argued that civic responsibility requires special attention inengineering education. Hess and Zola[3] found that few youth

While they acknowledge that it is difficult to list allepistemologies (and that what precisely counts as an epistemology is contested), they provide auseful framework for this study. Specifically, they highlight nine epistemological positions: Positivism: A belief that there is an objective truth that can be discerned throughscientific methods. Knowledge is gained by understanding that objective truth. Post-positivism: A relaxed version of positivism

Without a clear understanding of thehistory and contexts of technological stewardship, it can be challenging to make sense of itsdynamic and evolving nature, and to engage in meaningful scholarship or critique of theconcept. We argue that understanding the roots and contexts of the term, including itsmultiple intended purpose(s) and audience(s), is essential to realizing the potential oftechnological stewardship approaches in engineering education.We find the TSPP – a program

Previous research has looked at howundergraduate engineering students align with these common narratives in interviews and focusgroups with students [10, 13], surveys [19], student classwork [15], and whole class discussions[7, 14]. The four common narratives that are pertinent to this study are technocracy, free marketidealism, technological neutrality, and technological determinism.Technocracy is a decision making approach guided by the belief that all problems can andshould be solved through technology [21].
