Design justice rethinks design processes, centers people whoare normally marginalized by design, and uses collaborative, creative practices to address thedeepest challenges our communities face.” [1]. Two core tenets of the Design Justice movementare that “absolutely anyone can participate meaningfully in design,” and “those who are directlyaffected by the issues a project aims to address must be at the center of the design process.” [4]Engineering education community and design researchers generally agree that pedagogicalinnovations are needed to ensure that current and future technologies are

-ethics, Undergraduate EducationIntroductionEngineers are fundamentally problem solvers. Sometimes engineering solutions come withethical implications, this is what engineering ethics courses aim to help students betterunderstand. Ethics education for engineers takes many different forms across a wide variety ofinstitutions. As Hess and Fore attest, “... there is neither a consensus throughout the engineeringeducation community regarding which strategies are most effective towards which ends, norwhich ends are most important.”1 Believing that student self-awareness and the capacity toidentify and effectively communicate their own values is an “end” worth pursuing, we created anengineering ethics course for that purpose. The newly adopted

A hurdle tocurriculum change is that faculty have not been trained in sustainability concepts and typicallydo not teach across colleges. They are also unsure of how to address DEI, not wanting to get itwrong and cause harm as they experiment in the classroom. Some programs have therefore takena “train the trainer” approach, holding faculty workshops [1, 2]. The effectiveness of suchworkshops is not altogether clear; for example, instructors’ confidence in identifying effectiveways to include sustainability into their courses may not increase.

Much of this work has focused on engineering identity, or professionalidentity, formation and highlighting the interplay between individual identity and engineeringculture [4]–[6]. While work in engineering identity has become a prominent area of engineeringeducation research, it can also be somewhat narrow. Implicitly, studies in engineering identitytend to position students’ formation of an engineering identity as a positive outcome thatpromotes retention in the field [7]–[9] and students’ lack of engineering identity formation as aproblem to solve.

For this work, the data set was abbreviated toconsider only the 3 most salient topics.
