Thisclear separation of roles is a fundamental of several RLMSs and one of the main advantagesof this software architecture.

Engineering, as a discipline, has long been associated with technical rigorand problem-solving. However, the challenges of the 21st century—climate change, resourcescarcity, and global health disparities—demand solutions that are as culturally sensitive as theyare technically innovative. Developing students' ICC equips them to navigate these challengeswhile fostering an inclusive professional culture that values diverse contributions.The connection between ICC and SOB is particularly relevant in addressing theunderrepresentation of women, racial minorities, and first-generation students in STEM.

CarlMitcham suggests the major paradigms of engineering ethics before the end of the World War IIstressed: 1) engineers’ loyalty to their employers and clients; and 2) the efficiency of engineeringwork.5 As science and technology boomed over more than a decade following the end of the war,many engineers became sensitized to the complex role modern technoscience played in postwarsociety and, hence, advocated more stringent professional oversight of technoscientificdevelopments. As engineering historian Matthew Wisnioski notes, “environmental degradation,the Vietnam War, and a host of socio-technical concerns led reformers to pressure theirprofession to honor its social responsibilities.”6 In 1971, a group of engineers who weredetermined to “challenge
