In this first year class, we stress that designs cannot be based simply on the designers’ ownunderstanding, and we emphasize the need to develop empathy for users, who may have differentassumptions and experiences. In an effort to better integrate social justice into engineering, thiscourse aims to help students understand their own privileges, which we achieve throughreflection journals, activities such as a trip to a local museum with an exhibit on race, andclassroom discussion.
