Understanding of social justiceissues and the ability to engage in sociotechnical thinking are vital aspects of engineers' skill setsin the 21st century, but many engineering programs present content in ways that obscure orminimize these critical links. It is well-understood that student motivation is critical forengagement and learning to take place in the classroom. In our case, achieving participation andengagement in discussions and projects related to social justice requires motivated action on thepart of both students and faculty.
