ResearchersAbstractThis pilot study explores engineering students' views on social responsibility in undergraduateresearch experiences. Participants displayed high concern for human welfare and safety butneeded more education and training to understand the importance of being socially responsiblescientists and engineers. To address this, the authors recommend incorporating a formalcurriculum to facilitate students' understanding and articulation of their views on socialresponsibility in science and engineering research. The authors provide suggested case studiesfor engineering educators to incorporate social responsibility topics into their curriculum,enabling students to learn and debate the ethical and social implications of their research,promoting critical

While contemporary corporate-driven Western engineering is often framed assolving problems and enhancing quality of life, the forces driving technological development—economic interests, techno-evolutionary pressures, political agendas, technological pathdependencies, national security concerns, individual ambitions, and considerations of ethics andecological sustainability—often conflict, ultimately undermining these aims. These systemic andpsychological dynamics are frequently obscured in engineering discourse and education.Recognizing them is essential to understanding how individual mental states and behaviors bothshape and are shaped by broader social

The distinctions between Micro, Meso, and Macro have beenwidely acknowledged in engineering ethics and related fields such as economics, sociology, andpsychology, as they provide a framework for analyzing ethical considerations at varying levels ofscale and influence within complex systems [12], [13], [14].

These results suggest the viability ofengineering education courses to not only increase students’ knowledge of their public welfareresponsibilities (the typical approach of ethics and professionalism courses), but to better equipthem to uphold their responsibilities as public welfare watchdogs.IntroductionFormal engineering education is one of the only institutional spaces with the explicit goal oftraining neophytes to become responsible members of the profession [1]. Once they graduate,engineering students are unlikely to receive effective public welfare responsibly training in theirworkplaces or professional societies [2].

This holds for broadengineering ethics courses as well as ethics modules embedded within core technical courses.Courses that explore engineering culture by integrating ethics and history encourage students,many of whom are interested in using teamwork to solve problems, to think how they mightimprove upon past collaborations if equipped with hindsight.

Practices Related to Sociotechnical Thinking in the Teaching of Undergraduate Engineering StudentsAs a global society, we face significant challenges, including environmental degradation andclimate change, increasing economic inequity, rapid urbanization and population growth, theexclusion of individuals and groups from different forms of social engagement, and concernswith privacy and security. 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

Adopting sociotechnical approaches to engineering involves the intentionalconsideration of how the full realm of factors¾environmental, social, ethical,economical¾come to inform the needs of empathy-driven innovation. Of particularimportance in this approach is the need to proactively consider what the impact oftechnologies and innovations will be on people, society and the planet.

This dualistic framing limits engineers' ability to engage in sociotechnical thinking[4], which is essential for addressing complex sustainability challenges.To effectively address the climate crisis, it is crucial for engineering education to go beyondthe traditional focus on technical skills. There is an urgent need to cultivate a deepunderstanding of the social, ethical, and environmental implications of engineering projects[5], integrating principles of environmental justice [6], [7] and sustainability into thecurriculum. This shift necessitates a re-evaluation of teaching methods, incorporatinginterdisciplinary learning, emphasizing real-world case studies

Bringing this interdisciplinary approach to educating engineering students allows themto approach their profession in ways that enhance their problem-solving skills and professionalcommunication skills. Given these benefits, the problem engineering programs face is how tointegrate these skills within the curriculum as opposed to outsourcing these course offerings toother
