Contextualization here is ameans to help students identify social injustices that engineers can then help to ameliorate [6].We interpret the results of our content review through our personal experiences as researchersand educators in science and technology studies (STS) and engineering education. We, like manyengineering educators, are wary of overly prescriptive ethics instruction which elides powerdynamics and places too much onus on individual actors [7]. Contextualization as an end is atempting solution; however, we also recognize the risks of illuminating complexity withoutproviding direction [8]. We see

While severalparticipants did mention a service ethic as influencing their decision to join the military, thistheme was not quite as strong as it was in our earlier studies of SVEs.

For studentveterans in engineering programs, many of their former military experiences prepare them todevelop clear and effective communication skills and teamwork capacity, which are highlyvalued in engineering fields [10]. Based on their prior military experiences, student veterans arealso likely to possess a strong work ethic and a keen interest in practical problem-solving. Theirstrong

Methods Ethnography, a primary tool of anthropologists, is a common method used to understand culture from the perspective of insiders of that culture. Ethnographic methods include participant observation, field memos, autoethnography, interviews, and focus groups interviews.35, 36 The methodology of this paper is rooted in critical ethnography, which “begins with an ethical responsibility to address processes of unfairness or injustice within a particular lived domain”.21 Decolonizing Anthropology: For the scholar-activist doing qualitative work with the aim of ameliorating oppressive conditions, identity can act as a point of departure for theorizing. People with social identities that are underrepresented in institutions of power experience
that those feelings influence their thoughts, beliefs, and actions [17]. In engineering, weoften devalue the affective aspects of these discussions, and sometimes forget to bring up themoral/ethical aspects of our positions. This architecture develops the moral imagination ofengineering students by examining how their actions impact others.The ability to make meaning of complex, open-ended problems is critical to the success ofprofessional engineers in the workplace [18] and has been examined as a specific difficulty thatengineering students have [19]. The Four Voices architecture provides an alternative to simply"finding the best solution" to the issue being discussed. Instead, it asks participants to considerhow and why different parties

assignments will follow t Bloom's taxonomy(Bloom 1956) where each new assignment moves to a higher level with each module. Forexample, Module 1 is descriptive and focuses on knowledge acquisition, Module 2 focuses oncomprehension and understanding of materials to formulate questions, Module 3 moves toapplication, while Modules 4 and 5 will focus on analysis, evaluation, and creation. With eachModule there will be a set of tasks undertaken and an assessment. The final product will be asynthesis of engineering knowledge and social, political, economic, and ethical considerations. Module 1: Introduction. New knowledge/ tasks: The social science professors and the engineering professor will discuss the role of computer technology in community
supportsystems and the existence of service-connected disability. However, these students aspire to besuccessful against all odds, have an elevated work ethic, and employ a heightened level ofleadership, teaming, and communication. These assets can be invaluable for student veterans andtheir peers as they pursue careers in engineering. Results thus indicate that student veterans’military time and training do lend themselves as useful tools in navigating the transition toundergraduate engineering and ensuring success as engineering students. The identification ofthese unique skills and challenges affords us a better chance to understand these aspects oftransition and to facilitate change that better supports future student veterans with
onthose beliefs. The program is also grounded in John Dewey’s proposition that higher education isto assist individuals in developing the skills to be effective in their preferred occupation. Thisprogram focuses on developing professional competencies such as people and projectmanagement,leadership, and ethics, as well as perseverance, stress management, and the ability toreflect and modify one’s process of learning. Treveylan’s [9] studies on “the work that engineersdo” call for more emphasis on professional skills such as communication and the ability toperform effectively on teams. Treveylan advocates for students teaching others because“education, like engineering practice, relies on special kinds of social interactions” and thatstudents
