Engineers play a crucial role inaddressing and dismantling these systemic issues as they influence shaping the built environmentand technological systems that impact diverse communities. Therefore, integrating social justiceprinciples and awareness of systemic inequities into the engineering curriculum is crucial forpreparing future engineers to create inclusive and equitable solutions.
