The ScLR follows the methodologypresented by Arksey and O’Malley (2005), which breaks the process into five stages: (1)identifying the research questions, (2) identifying the relevant studies, (3) study selection, (4)charting the data, and (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting the results. These stages wereperformed iteratively, which allowed for reflection and study team collaboration along eachstage. The study was grounded in four central inclusion criteria: (1) equitable design, (2)engineering education, (3) engineering course, and (4) secondary education

designwould support engineering students to consider these contexts in their future problem solving.Other pedagogical lessons for teaching social justice in engineering included not cold-calling onstudents, allowing a larger number of students to speak, and giving students moreautonomy in choosing topics [34]. These recommendations may help in creating safe spacesfor students to learn and creating collaborative learning experiences within these safespaces [1]. It can be productive for an engineering educator to focus on becoming an expert inallowing for and encouraging conversations about social justice, rather than becoming anexpert on social justice itself [1].What are the benefits of integrating social and technical aspects of engineering?Overall

Engineering and EngineeringEducation, first wrote this piece as a term paper for a class on NDM taught by Tyler in Spring of2020. While the paper’s topic of NDM education rather than specifics of a certain NDM methodwas chosen out of interest in aerospace engineering education, the results and discussion presentedin this paper were entirely surprising to Justin. Particularly, the surprise was that the class taughtby Tyler at the time uniquely addressed many, if not all, of the needs described in this paper. Thisunique observation led Justin to reach out to Tyler to collaborate on this piece. In the section thatfollows, Justin reflects upon their experience in the course in relation to those themes. In the sectionthereafter, Tyler responds to Justin
