For final projects, students researched and presented posters in teamsdiscussing technological problems or possibilities they believed to be deserving of more attentionfrom the engineering community. These and other projects were coupled with mandatory yetungraded weekly online forums to which students were asked to exercise their critical thinkingskills by posting responses to the prompts provided and to each other. In-class activities includedconversationally-delivered lectures, discussions with guest speakers, and screening of films suchas Who Killed the Electric Car? and Revenge of the Electric Car.Through such activities, the course specifically aimed to meet

Through exposure to diverseperspectives and ways of thinking, engineers develop a nuanced understanding of the world, including stakeholderand social-contextual factors [21],[22]. This can lead to more creative and effective solutions [23],[24] [25], andfoster a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and ethical implications of technological design choices. Withsuch training, engineers can also be empowered to have a more significant impact on society [26],[27] [28].

Other engineering education programs and scholars presenttechnological stewardship in close relation to concepts like social responsibility [3] orresponsible innovation [4], or use the term to describe a process of pedagogical design for theengineering classroom, rather than a practice for engineers to engage in [5].
