Is it possible that student involvement in HEPs could create an equity ethic whichleads to more inclusive practices in their career?

These are the harms we aim to prevent.Someone reading this may think the use of the word harm is an extreme choice in engineering education.After all, we, as engineers, are members of a privileged discipline highly esteemed in society. Ethics is atthe core of what we do because our actions protect and keep people safe. We engage in extensive trainingto prevent deaths in the air, sea, and land.

If we are [u]nstable in how we are connected to ourselves and those immediately around us, it will be virtually impossible for us to do it to the entire world. These lessons of understanding human experiences from different perspectives, empathizing with them and considering them in the decisions we make is what will set us apart as conscious and ethical engineers that add positive value to the world.Perhaps the strongest statement about the need for empathy and reflection in engineering camefrom a student who asserted that these were the tools that could prevent engineering fromperpetuating deeply entrenched systems of discrimination in society

, 2016 From Problem Solvers to Problem Seekers: The Necessary Role of Tension in Engineering EducationIn this paper it is proposed that the current focus on problems in engineering education andtechnological literacy may be more constructively reframed by focusing on tensions. PriyanDias claims engineering has an identity crisis that arises from tensions inherent in: 1) theinfluence of the profession on society, 2) the role engineers play, and 3) what constitutes validknowledge in engineering. These are ethical, ontological, and epistemological tensionsrespectively, which Dias frames as a tension between identities of homo sapiens and homo faber.Beyond the tensions in engineering there are additional tensions that arise

[5]. The ethical responsibility of engineers goes beyond the technical aspects of their work; they must consider the social and justice implications of the systems they create. For example, engineers can help reduce inequalities by designing accessible technologies that serve diverse populations or by developing infrastructure that meets the needs of underrepresented and underserved communities [5], [6]. This approach requires engineers to carefully evaluate how their work affects different social groups and to strive for solutions that promote inclusivity, equity, and justice. Engineers have a responsibility to ensure that their projects do not reinforce existing inequalities but instead work towards creating a fairer and more equitable
