For example, two key ABET criteria delineate the need for students toapply their technical knowledge to develop solutions to complex world problems which affectpublic health, welfare, and consider global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors. Another instance of such criteria is, “an ability to recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider theimpact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.” [5].In addition to the academic standards, industry leaders and educators alike emphasize thesignificance of equipping future engineers

In addition, there remains a lack of resources available to individualspossessing some existing STEM competencies to retool their skills to meet the current demandfor mechatronics specialists. Moreover, to better prepare future specialists in mechatronics,learners need hands-on experiential opportunities to understand the future outlook ofmechatronics and enhance retention in the field.

Not addressing these challenges can thus hinder institutions’ ability to developsocially and environmentally responsible engineers. Due to technological and scientificdevelopments, the engineering curriculum is frequently expected to cover more and moretechnical content, which makes the incorporation of other aspects more challenging [10]. Ahorizontal integration of social and environmental justice is an effective approach to dealing withthis issue, and it simultaneously helps defuse faculty resistance to non-technical content[11,12,13].
