Incorporating Design Justice Activities in Engineering CoursesAbstractOne of the primary tasks that engineers must undertake is design. Engineers design and developsolutions that are supposed to satisfy human needs. Engineers also, through their work, intend tochange the life of everyone for the better. While all around us we see numerous examples ofcases/design solutions that have improved our lives, there is also another side of this story. Forexample, development of nuclear weapons during the second world war led to its use to destroycities and innocent lives, and a perpetual threat of the possibility of nuclear holocaust. Or, forexample, how early in the US history the growth of the country from its coastal colonies into theheartland was achieved

We therefore sought toanswer the following research questions: • What kinds of decisions did students make in the lab (both in-person and simulated)? • To what extent did students show ownership over the experimental methods, analytical methods, and their interpretation of the results?Theoretical FrameworkMany studies have contrasted face-to-face
