from the criticaland sometimes-subtle dimensions of social justice.5 Design cases that involve, for example,“design for the other 90%”6 or designing for people with disabilities redirect attention toquestions of design for social justice. This paper identifies and briefly describes four forms ofdesign: design for technology, HCD for users, HDC for communities, and design for socialjustice. The paper explores how social justice has been enacted—or neglected—in specificdesign contexts within engineering education, and how it can be further integrated in each ofthese forms of design education.This paper is part of a broader project to integrate social justice across three components ofengineering curricula—engineering design, engineering sciences

Similarly, incremental imagination exercises canbe used to develop a student’s cognitive and reflexive understanding.Pitfalls in ethics instructionDiscussing ethics instruction in a broad sense is a difficult endeavor, as there are many ways inwhich ethics can be approached in the curriculum. Options can include individual modules onethics within introductory and capstone courses, embedding ethics throughout a series of courseswithin the curriculum, or requiring ethics specific courses.

the program names contribute to some of these challenges,leading to questions about whether rebranding to a different name might be beneficial. Otherstudies have explored renaming motivations and results in geography [13], agronomy [14],writing programs [15], vocational education [16], and institutions [17], [18]. There is a generalconsensus that names are powerful, and changes often reveal tensions with the health and/oridentity of programs. Frazier et al. [13, p. 13] notes: “Do name changes reflect an expandedmission… or other goals such as addressing low enrollment, shifting student interests, or thedesire to project a fresh identity or realign with a new academic emphasis?” There may also beconcern about name recognition or conveying the

This estimate was based on their individual course curriculum plan. For example, ifa student had satisfactorily completed the first senior design capstone course in fall 2015, then itwas assumed that the student would graduate in spring 2016 (upon completion of their secondand final semester in senior design).Included with the transcript data was information collected by the instructor during the course.The course structure and topics did not change during the study period (2013-2015).
