engineers can sometimes run counter to the needs ofcommunities they serve and reinforce structures of power that maintain inequality. Civil Engineering in particular is inextricably linked up with societal change, and responsible engineering is about understanding wider environmental and social impacts ofdesign and construction. Patricia teaches creative design modules that give students tools and techniques (Human-centered design, VR collaborative design tools) to find their own brand of creativity, while prompting students to consider how their individualprivilege and biases impact on their design decisions.

Often, the class becomes compartmentalizedto focus on one mechanical element at a time. While initially effective, allowing students totarget their efforts and study habits, it can be detrimental if no strong connections are builtbetween the different learning modules at the end of the class.This paper presents a case-study of a unique and highly engaging
