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

The first was an introduction to the field including salary expectations, the type ofwork they do and any other pertinent information the presenter finds valuable. The second partincluded a short presentation of some of the fundamental concepts in that field. The last partincluded a hands-on project where the participants got to perform some actual engineering work.The rest of this paper includes the details of the three engineering parts of the workshop.The workshop consisted of the following.
