Weconclude with a discussion motivating social justice as a value that all engineers can adopt.IntroductionSocial justice is an aspirational value conceptualized in contrast to injustice, and is best definedby those most closely experiencing that injustice. 1 Notions of social justice vary by time and byaffected population. Studying previous social justice movements can provide some examples ofkey principles such as ending systems of oppression like racism, colonialism, classism, ableism,sexism, heterosexism, gender normativities, xenophobia, ageism, and others; resisting thesystematic silencing or discrediting of local knowledges and scientific counter-knowledges thatchallenge dominant ways of thinking, knowing and doing

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Work in Progress - Innovation through Propagation: Improving and Diversifying PathwaysIntroductionRound 1 of the Delphi study of the critical unsolved problems facing engineering educationresearch, described elsewhere1, included a question on barriers related to “improving anddiversifying the pipeline”. Several respondents pointed out that the pipeline metaphor has beenchallenged in the community for its rigidity and expressed a preference for the “pathways”metaphor, which suggests multiple routes instead of a single route. The pathways metaphor isconsistent with the literature.2,3For round 2 of the Delphi study, the prompt was changed to “pipeline and

In order to conduct research on how people learn, it is prudent to set a foundation oflearning theory that is relevant to the research questions of any given study. More emphasis isbeing placed on learning theories within the constructivist paradigm, that the learner is not just apassive recipient of knowledge, but is constructing knowledge actively and in different ways [2-4].At present, there is no one comprehensive learning theory by which all disciplines may operate,because each theory has its own applications and limitations. The corollary of limitations oflearning theory is that there is no one research
