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.

In addition, this lack of societalcontextualization causes engineering students’ social responsibility to decrease over the courseof their education [1, 8, 9]. Engineering is sociotechnical by nature; the design process involvestechnical and non-technical (social, economic, environmental, political, legal, cultural, ethical)factors that are simultaneously connected with one another [10-12]. Graduates should beprepared with sociotechnical problem solving skills to tackle the complex engineering challengesfacing the world today and in the future [13, 14].

In contrast, Gilligan [14] explicates that connectivity and relations with othersemerge as a powerful axis in women’s moral development; integration of responsibility andcare—rather than universalizable ethical guidelines and equal consideration of others—characterizes the first significant transition in women’s developmental process.

This realization will empower students with a sense of continuity and a need for collective efforts, it will enable them to break the barriers of individual accountability, micro-ethics, and direct causality commonly established in engineering practice [17].

Guided by the U.S. Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET), undergraduate engineering programs aim to helpstudents develop “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”31. Ingeneral, however, engineering ethics have emphasized principles such as accountabilityto the client—defined as the people or organizations who have retained the engineer’sservices, not as the broader public for whom a given product or innovation will result ineither benefit or harm30.
