Engineering Ethics
(Riley and Lambrinidou, 2015) in engineering ethics literature, it is still not surprising tosee persistent reliance on presupposed “correct” responses for a given case; an overemphasis onheroic actions and unusual mistakes without contextual considerations; and the overlooking ofthe importance of society and peer culture in the teaching of ethics. In this paper, we argue thataddressing imaginal capacity as a core component in ethics curriculum helps educators movebeyond isolated and product-oriented pictures of engineering ethics instruction and we illustrateways to bridge complexities embedded in how we think and how we relate to one another insociety.Stimulating moral imagination has been recognized as one of the major goals of

through Transdisciplinary CourseworkAbstractIn the face of today's complex challenges, it is clear that the convergence of academic disciplinesin the support of creating innovative solutions is more important than ever. To enable thisconvergence, universities can adopt transdisciplinary learning experiences that promote theintegration of different academic fields. One common method for integration is the application ofdesign thinking methods and the development of cross-cutting innovation-focused skills. TheMission, Meaning, Making (M3) model is an example of a transdisciplinary educational modelthat aims to transform traditional undergraduate learning experiences by combining the strengthsof different academic units.

In addition to framing student underperformance as an individual or familial problem, deficit perspectives obscure how educators and systemic oppression undermine the success of minoritized student populations. (p. 6)In response, anti-deficit teaching practices center on the effective use of transformativeeducational pedagogies that aim to create equitable learner spaces that integrate the voices ofthose traditionally marginalized [2]. For example, Graham et al.

The authors adopted thislearning taxonomy to form the foundation of the work presented in this paper: ● Foundational knowledge – includes the building blocks of the disciplines being studied. In the framework presented, this is addressed by using assignments that allow students to demonstrate a basic understanding of societal rights in terms of what is available in the built environment, to identify inequities in infrastructure, and how they are propagated. ● Application – students use the foundational knowledge acquired in the initial lessons of a course, or over the curriculum, to start designing solutions to address existing problems in infrastructure.

Byexploring local environmental justice issues and emphasizing the necessity of integrating theseissues into the curriculum, we can prepare the next generation of engineers to address real-worldchallenges and engage in equitable problem-solving. Given the profound implications ofengineering solutions on both environmental sustainability and societal well-being, EJE stands asa pivotal bridge between educators and students, fostering meaningful connections by exploringlocal environmental justice issues.

Even though, all three of these concepts involve modeling, they may not be explicitlydiscussed or demonstrated. Because mathematical modeling is essential to solving and designingengineering problems in the workforce, it is necessary to teach it more explicitly [4].
