technical knowledge and merit based scholarship sets the ground work for a disengagementof students and pushes out those with a wider world view. The study that Cech [17] conductedshowed that students in universities actually decrease in their feelings of social engagement andresponsibilities as they progress through their education. While the changes are small, they aresignificant and point to a larger problem with undergraduate education and the socialization ofengineers.Engineering IdentityThe development of an identity as an engineer has begun to be considered a factor in theformation of a professional engineer. Capobianco, French and Diefes-Dux [18] looked at theconnection of a student’s ability to identity as an engineer and their persistence

Some changes seem small (e.g. asking someone to edit their vocabulary by adding orremoving a word or phrase), and some seem larger (e.g. asking a School to establish policies toenforce an inclusive culture for graduate students) but the common element is that we areworking to get people to align to our vision.RecommendationsWe have three recommendations for people in engineering education who are beginning toengage in social justice reform.Take action where you can and expect and accept mistakesA primary inspiration for this paper was that we felt unprepared for the particular challenges weencountered.
