One study of a new engineeringdesign program in Sweden, developed to increase students’ social justice literacy, used textualcontent analysis to understand if and how students reflected critically on issues of social justicewithin their final essay submissions [13]. Authors found evidence that students did begin to “seesystems” as a result of the program and seem to begin to critically question different stakeholderperspectives and contextualize engineering development practices. However, it is unclearwhether students considered their own role as aspiring engineers within the structures of powerthat they were uncovering through their

This is not unexpected, because engineering has been shown tohave one of the highest percentages of conservatives among all academic disciplines [12].Matilda described faculty conservatism in a refusal to acknowledge the political nature oftheir work: “I think that department leadership and many engineers think that they can somehow avoid making it political.

Wehope that by sharing the evolution of our curricular efforts, others will find useful ideas andstrategies that could be adapted to an existing assessment plan; or, that could be used to helpbuild the foundation for a new one. The overarching goal of this paper is to share successfultechniques that we’ve used to assess student learning. We hope these techniques will be usefulfor others as
