To date, most publications on equity-centered engineering course implementationsdescribe efforts in engineering design or ethics courses and modules. This may suggest that anequity lens is only or most relevant in those courses; however, if the goal is to promote students’capacity for equity-minded engineering practice, educators must center equity in a variety ofimpactful courses across students’ academic paths [17].

One student said that he never reallyhad a strong engineering identity because of “engineering education, culture, and what isemphasized and what’s not emphasized.” He described a chemical engineering unit on processsafety, which was used to think about ethics. He recalled, “The opening line is, if you blow upyour plant, you’re not gonna make any more money… that’s always been such a turnoff for me.
