Sky’s the Limit: Drones for Social Good courseincludes critical aspects that relate to multiple engineering disciplines, which allows students toidentify the connections between drones and their particular engineering concentration. Thecourse is also multi-disciplinary and encourages critical social reflection. Students consider abroad range of applications of drones with the goal of promoting social good. The courseculminates in an entrepreneurial project that incorporates knowledge and skills from severalengineering disciplines in the context of engineering for social good.Research has found that female, Black, and/or Latinx engineering students are drawn to pursuingcareers that they identify as promoting social justice and a greater social

Their plans, actions, policymaking,reflections, and frustrations all aim to explore possible reactions to the challenges brought bythese dominant images. 1It is worth noting that the idea of dominant images is not an empirical concept. In other words,the dominant image active learning in American engineering education does not necessarily inferthat most American engineering schools and programs have adopted or developed active learningwell. Rather, dominant images often have normative value. Engineering programs and facultymay have different feelings about active learning, but active learning as a social image is relevantto their educational

Thus, students within the education system are expectedto know and operate within this set of cultural norms. However, students from different class,race, or ethnic backgrounds are less likely to know these cultures, and therefore operate at adisadvantage within education settings, such as “predominantly White universities [that]typically reﬂect White, male, middle-class perspectives” ([12], p. 95). As Dumais [13] explains,these students: might not be viewed as favorable by teachers, they might not understand materials or assignments that were based on the dominant culture, and they might opt out of education
