, including the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE), and the National Science Foundation (NSF), all agreethat social responsibility is a vital component of an engineer's professional formation.[7]–[9]. They emphasize that social responsibility must be a guiding and transformativeexperience in the education of engineers. Social responsibility refers to an activity or actionwithin science and technology that is socially responsible if it satisfies certain ethical principles,and socially irresponsible if it does not satisfy those principles [10].” In a sense, socialresponsibility goes beyond the ethical obligation engineers have to society and the environmentby including agency towards

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

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.

In K-12 contexts,Vakil [9] explains that “research unequivocally shows that high quality STEM learningopportunities in and out of school are largely denied to racially minoritized students” (p.90).Numerous studies have shown that in university programs, students benefit from previoustechnical experience [10], but women are far less likely to have such experiences because ofgendered stereotypes of engineering processes e.g. computer coding [11].There are also challenges arising from students’ interests and the impact of gender stereotypes oncareer choice.
