ideologies [3]; these perspectives are also alignedwith Radoff et al.’s description of narrow thinking [13]. 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]. Here, technological solutions are privileged, oftenwith little consideration of the social, political and historical context of the

, maintaining health, expressing humanity throughthe arts, and experiencing joy has been a major trend throughout human history. At the sametime, engineering has also been used for destructive purposes, including the development of toolsand processes that subjugate and inflict violence upon humans, other living things, and theenvironment. A critical juncture in the path that engineering has taken occurred during the 2ndWestern Industrial Revolution from the mid 1800’s to the early 1900’s. During this time,enterprises for capitalist accumulation of wealth and power came to dominate the field ofengineering and engineers became wedded to the interests of corporate capitalism. Today thelegacy of this shift persists. While there continue to be engineers

SelvesThe psychological concept of possible selves, developed by Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius,examines how people use both positive and negative imaginations of the self to guidemotivation, behavior, and identity construction, including ethical formation [4]. According to theauthors, possible selves facilitate self-knowledge informed by “the ideal selves we would verymuch like to become” as well as “the selves we are afraid of becoming” [4]. As such, possibleselves function as “cognitive manifestation[s]” of persistent “goals, aspirations, motives, fears,and threats” and operate as “the essential link between self-concept and motivation” [4].Importantly, the authors argue that the possible selves people construct, though numerous andvaried, are
