Faculty most commonly reported teachingthese topics in senior capstone design (41%); 30% also taught these issues in graduate levelcourses.

Education, 2016 Incorporation of Liberal Education into the Engineering Curriculum at a PolytechnicAbstractTraditional engineering education often falls short when it comes to the inclusion of issues relatedto social justice, ethics, and globalization. While engineering programs are required to includeethics content for accreditation, most seem to rely primarily on general education electives,providing only a high-level overview and including the bare minimum in the program core. Thiscan lead to an inconsistent student experience and minimal exposure to topics which are criticallyimportant for achieving worldwide equity and operating responsibly in the engineeringworkplace.
