of renewable energies has been a majorbarrier to advances in the field [3]. It has been important to train engineering students in the fieldof renewable energy sources or improve students’ awareness of renewable energy sources [4].There are several studies on renewable energy education in engineering programs [5-12]. Forexample, Corey et. al [5] proposed a renewable energy program that can be adapted to existingmechanical engineering programs. Mohamed [6] presented a curriculum at the University ofWashington that integrates renewable energy education with its electrical engineering program.Marian and Lise [7] presented a design workshop course in the electrical and computerengineering department at the University of Minnesota Duluth, in
their research and teaching on en-gineering ethics [10, 11]. Recently, practitioners’ and the professional engineering societies’ in-terest in engineering ethics has also increased with the IEEE being especially active [12, 13].Now, with a number of exemplary models existing within the country’s engineering schools, theneed to incorporate ethics into the curriculum is no longer debated; e.g., see [14, 15]. Increas-ingly, educators have emphasized the important relationship between ethics and engineering de-sign and the value of integrating the two within the curriculum [16-19].However, if ABET’s vision for understanding ethical and professional responsibilities is to be-come reality, educators now must determine: What is the appropriate content

The board isbeing used in a junior level electronics class. Experiments utilizing the board are beingdeveloped for a introductory freshman level electrical engineering course. It is also being usedfor a senior design project for an engineering outreach student.Table I. Data from a classroom assessment.1 A total of 14 students participated in the survey

By focusing soheavily on the technical aspects of engineering, curriculum may unintentionally teach studentsthat the social aspects of a project are less important while also devaluing the understandings ofstudents who may have experienced injustice due to past engineering projects. These teachingpractices may also discourage students from seeking out better solutions for all people andstakeholders [15].Methodology and AssessmentThis study focuses on how the addition of social justice ideas to the environmental engineeringcurriculum may help students gain awareness of

” problems are those overwhich there is a significant amount of public interest whether or not they are solved. Thiscategory includes the “public goods” from economics (e.g. education, national defense,environmental quality). “Private” problems are all the other problems we deal with in life, suchas the creating of new product designs, the manufacture of products, the growing and harvestingof food, etc.As with all classifications, there will not always be a clear line between public and private. Forexample, ‘feeding one’s family’ would probably receive agreement as primarily a “private”problem, but ‘ensuring that no one in society goes hungry’ is usually seen as a “public” problem.While people may disagree as to exactly where the dividing line

The intent is to develop an overarching understanding of technology that identifiesnot only the who, what, where, and when of a technological innovation through historical lessonsbut also addresses the why and the how of a technology’s impact on society throughphilosophical discussion.As well as utilizing two fields of thought on technological literacy, this course heavilyemphasizes a curriculum design of personal relevance. The concept of personal relevance inclassroom education is not drawn upon often, though students with personal motivations andgoals in their learning may embrace the individuality and find more meaning to
