Another common occurrence is that engineering lab classes often encompass a widevariety of learning objectives [9]. For the purposes of ABET evaluation and assessment, it is notuncommon for lab classes to be used to assess student outcomes beyond experimentation, andincluding student outcomes having to do with communication, teamwork, ethics andprofessionalism, and life-long learning. Communication, in particular, is a component in labclasses that often results in the majority of time being spent on the preparation of written reportsrather than on actually doing the experiment or in reflecting on the results [10].

Students should be afforded aspace where they can co-create meaning between their emerging identities and, introspectively,synthesize a transparent view of the ethical role and relationship that engineering has to society.Our work begins to highlight some of the challenges of pushing against the current culture ofengineering and re-politicizing the engineering
