intrinsically lead to injustice, for example,if they disrespect stakeholders or cause discriminatory inequities. The second norm explored inthis paper, humility, has typically been considered a good quality of the engineer, but not oftenapplied to technology. The implications of using humility as a design criterion might includemore emphasis on reliability, user feedback, and more broadly, a recognition of humanlimitations and fallibility.2 IntroductionTraditional engineering education teaches students how to use technical principles to makeengineering decisions. However, the EC2000 criteria encourage broader engineering educationthat includes non-technical, contextual disciplines. Unfortunately engineering students often seecourses in the humanities

: using IR cameras in STEM outreach Abstract The recent introduction of affordable infrared (IR) cameras and IR imaging attachments for smartphones has provided a unique opportunity to enhance the education of K-12 students. We have acquired a number of different IR cameras and IR camera attachments and discuss the utilization of these devices in both a college course and in our STEM and STEAM outreach efforts. While our outreach efforts have placed us in a classroom for just an hour or two at a time, thanks to local IEEE Chapter support, we have placed IR cameras in these classrooms for several weeks at a time.
