to a ”culture of disengagement” from the ethical dimension of engineering work among students in the engineering profession. His Ph.D. project is funded by the NSF and is concerned with promoting and im- proving engineering students’ ethical behavior and sensitivity through on-campus student organizations. His academic interests include mental health, international development, human rights, and engineering ethics. Currently, his ambition is to work within an international organization such as UNESCO and to be an advocate for promoting science and technology as critical tools of sustainable development as well as to participate in the dialogue between scientists, policy-makers, and society.

Just after the creation of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1955, theEngineers’ Council for Professional Development commissioned a study to investigate howengineering education could keep pace with rapid developments in science and technology. Theresult of this study was the influential Grinter report1, among whose recommendations includedan emphasis on the importance of integrating liberal arts into engineering education. While thereport argued for balance between the technical and liberal arts, few current

The equity gap in STEM education is a significant issue, and individuals from low-income communities often lack the STEM experiences that their more affluent peers receive [1].To address this gap, educators are exploring new ways to engage students in STEM experiencesthat promote positive associations. A positive class experience can impact students in profoundways, for

inengineering by producing a legitimate artifact and producing knowledge.DiscussionDominant engineering paradigms often rely on having resources. As indicated by Wachs [48],engineers have been masters of technology driven mostly by economic motives and influencedby corporations and government. Rasquachismo, on the other hand, is a model that has beenappropriated by those who do not have resources and embrace ambiguity, ingenuity, andresourcefulness - rasquachismo is rooted in experience for survival and resistance. Nonetheless,rasquachismo also becomes a vehicle to the world of engineering. Similar to engineering,rasquachismo seeks to (1) generate potential solutions to a problem, (2) accomplish simple tasksthrough complex ingenuity, (3) generate

Engineering education’s rigid methodologies and the inflexible “gauntlet” ofengineering curricula are highly structured– but is conformist, highly structured thinkingnecessarily a gateway to complacency in the face of injustice? Could aspects of engineeringeducation make one more comfortable within systems of domination? Or, might the rigidconformist nature of engineering education make it more attractive to those with suchtendencies?Technological development has historically accelerated under authoritarian regimes, including thedesign and implementation of some of the most violent technologies in history. While someacademics have provided full-throated critiques of authoritarianism, academia itself has also longstood to protect white
Technologies respectively. Unfortunately, students in different disciplinesare often segregated from each other in core courses. We have designed two entry-levelcourses that are designed for both AS and AAS students to take together.In our Mechanical Design and Prototyping course both Engineering Science andPrecision Machining students learn to use CAD and CAM software in lecture and thenfabricate their designs using manual and CNC machines in lab. Faculty from bothdepartments team-teach the course which entails a final design-build project and coursecompetition. A series of short instructional videos have been created to supplement classinstruction.Our Digital Electronics course is taken by both Engineering Science and ComputerTechnology students
