engineering and socially just engineering. As we synthesize theliterature and our arguments across these levels, we also consider how equitable practices at anyone level reinforces equitable practices at the others. Envisioning socially just engineeringeducation requires thinking within and across all three of these levels.Macro Level Organization of Engineering for EquityEngineering for equity and social justice involves a recognition of the ideologies shapingengineering and the orientations that engineering has towards society. Historically, science andengineering have been shaped by ideologies that are technocratic and exclusionary, oftensubversively framed as rationalistic (Bazzul & Tolbert, 2019; Gravel et al., 2021; Gunckel &Tolbert
