to consider and design with ethical, equity, andsocial justice implications in mind. Further, there is still a general lack of diversity ofstakeholder parameters in early engineering design classes. Introduction to systems engineeringcourses lack integration of current thinking on community engagement ethics and that absencecan be seen across the systems engineering curriculum, as well. We ask: How do we createlearning opportunities/engineering interventions that are technically sound, and also prioritizecommunity voice, cultural appropriateness, and contextual efficacy? In this paper, we reviewthree methods of stakeholder analysis taught in system engineering courses and identify whereand how one can integrate community voices through a

represents engineering and technical skills, economic feasibility, ethical considerations, andcultural sensitivity, which can be considered when studying potential solutions [3]. "The Village of Yakutia has about 50,000 people. Its harsh winters and remote location make heating a living space very expensive. The rising price of fossil fuels has been reflected in the heating expenses of Yakutia residents. In fact, many residents are unable to afford heat for the entire winter (5 months). A Northeastern Federal University study shows that 38% of village residents have gone without heat for at least 30 winter days in the last 24 months. Last year, 27 Yakutia deaths were attributed to unheated homes. Most died from
