This dualistic framing limits engineers' ability to engage in sociotechnical thinking[4], which is essential for addressing complex sustainability challenges.To effectively address the climate crisis, it is crucial for engineering education to go beyondthe traditional focus on technical skills. There is an urgent need to cultivate a deepunderstanding of the social, ethical, and environmental implications of engineering projects[5], integrating principles of environmental justice [6], [7] and sustainability into thecurriculum. This shift necessitates a re-evaluation of teaching methods, incorporatinginterdisciplinary learning, emphasizing real-world case studies

when engineers appreciate and strive forfairness [4]. Understanding the educational context and the importance of integrating equityissues is crucial to help engineers develop an equity ethic. However, the rigid and technology-focused nature of engineering education, rooted in meritocracy and a lack of political awareness,often prevents engineering students from exploring the social aspects of their field. To promotesocially just engineering practices, we must change how engineering students are taught andequipped to address issues of inequality in the workplace. Like in many other professions,engineering culture and values may be imparted to students through belief systems that arediscussed in more subtle ways rather than just fundamental

ColorAbstractThis WIP paper intends to supplement our current understanding of political awareness andethical disengagement among engineering undergraduates. As an integral part of the productionof globally-sold technology and weaponry [1-6], engineers in the United States need to have anactive and informed interest for global public welfare as well as the political applications of theirwork [7]. Part of developing this informed interest is supposed to occur as they get theirbachelor’s degree, as ABET expects graduates to be able to “recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities in engineering situations” (Criterion 3: Student Outcomes) and make decisionsthat give weight to the global and societal impact of their work [8].
