Neoliberalism champions free market exchange. It values competitionand self-interest as the ethics that should be used to guide all human actions [8]. Embracingneoliberalism, the focus of higher education has shifted from the pursuit of knowledge to theproduction of revenue.A culture of productivity has been previously characterized as the pervasive attitude thatengenders the result of labor as a commodity and values labor efficiency over an individual’sneeds, preferences, and well-being [9], [10].

Each engineering design follows an engineering designprocess, including evaluation based on stakeholder analysis. The curriculum is designed to beoffered as a yearlong high school course. It consists of eight units, designed with the idea ofspiraling complexity. Concepts are introduced and are reinforced through later lessons andactivities, allowing increasing autonomy and creativity throughout the course. The first two unitsfocus on a true introduction to engineering, including social, ethical, and environmentalramifications of engineering

Thestudy uses the Sustainability Education Framework for Teachers (Warren, Archambault, &Foley, 2014) that embraces four ways of thinking including futures, values, systems, andstrategic thinking to address complex educational challenges.Futures thinking focuses on working to address tomorrow’s problems today with anticipatoryapproaches to understand and prepare for future changes, problems, and solutions (Warren et al.,2014). Values thinking is about recognizing the concepts of ethics, equity, and social justice(Warren et al., 2014).
