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

respond to the complex ethical, social, political, andenvironmental challenges of today, they may begin to eschew traditional case studies that portrayengineering as objective and apolitical. In this way, they may begin to “transgress” againstdominant views of engineering that can limit students’ critical thinking and engagement withsocio-political issues within engineering contexts. Liberatory pedagogy also disrupts the statusquo of power dynamics and practices in the postsecondary classroom, opening up space for newclassroom activities and assessments that create a more collaborative and equitable learningenvironment [1].In this paper, I explore the redesign of an undergraduate engineering technology and societycourse in relation to the idea of

In other words,the language of RRI assumes a very different kind of relationship between actors than does thelanguage of regulation. An awareness of the power of analogies can heighten our sensibilitiesregarding the linguistic choices we habitually make.Where analogical imagination refers to the context evoked by a particular choice of words,analogical reasoning is a form of critical thinking in which we make an implicit comparisonexplicit and explore how the

crucialmechanism by which U.S. engineering education settings have grappled with unwanted politicalsensibilities is through silencing. There is an enduring sense that rigorous, respectableengineering training, as well as engineering in action, from the technical classroom, at the labbench, or on the factory floor must exclude the subjectivities we know as “politics.” This isdespite the concession by some that value systems known as “ethics” or “rigor” may (must) bebolstered [26], [27]. Across many technical subdisciplines, so-named ethics and other liabilitysystems are today seen to represent the universe of Engineers’ moral responsibilities in itsentirety. We are prompted to ask, then: How precisely does such apparent depoliticization ofEngineering

the participants’ likelihood of success byfostering development of personal or individual adaptive strengths. Building on this, Burt et al.(2021) propose a new model of wholeness in graduate advising based on an ethic of care. Thefocus on wholeness directs attention to the need to recognize black male students as wholepersons, including the influence of family (Brooms & Davis, 2017; Tolbert Smith, 2022). Forexample, Tolbert Smith (2022) shows that black families and extended family members providedblack men’s primary sources of support, although black men also benefited from bi-directionalexchange of cultural capital when navigating non-inclusive environments.
