Universities hope tograduate ethical engineers, but may not have intentionality about the education towards civicresponsibility.

Participants described occupational and organizational roles and positionsin various activity systems in the organization. We identified two categories of subjects—individual roles and teams/groups. Within those categories we identified five subcategories ofindividuals: engineers (structural, design, plant), systems operator, supervisor of engineeringteams, construction site coordinators (CSC), and project managers (PM).

Byinterrogating these conditions, we can move towards a more critical understanding of how aproject’s context including PI motivation, leadership ideology, scaling goals, and administrativebackbone may or may not influence potential outcomes. These factors are usually eitherpresented by project leaders in shorthand as “background conditions” for proposed research,barely relevant to the envisioned intervention, or omitted entirely from research design. Thisdeemphasis may have a practical purpose, cordoning off politically sensitive activity amidbroader institutional resistance to DEI, but it is an approach
