Freire asserts that critical reflection, or "reflection and actionupon the world in order to transform it,” is a fundamental feature of critical pedagogical praxis[8]. Van Manen elaborates a definition of critical reflection as a form of reflection that “addsmoral and ethical criteria, such as equity and justice,” and locates “analysis of personal actionwithin wider historical, political and social contexts” [9].There are signs that reflective practice within engineering higher education has receivedincreased attention over time [10]. However, though calls have been made for use of a criticallens in engineering education research [11

Whether it be controls, vibrations,heat transfer, biomechanics, or a concentrated list of technical subjects, our students are carefullyprepared for life in the technical world. The issue with stopping in our teaching at this list is thatwe do not provide our students with experiences that aim to bring them into contact with areasthat may make their lives both interesting and instructive. The expectation is that they willreceive in general university courses all that they need to know about art, literature, and music,along with professional behavior and ethics.

Further, much deeper understanding and appreciation of physical phenomena can be developedwhen ‘hands-on’ learning is combined in an integral manner with more traditional classroom instruction.Experimental projects also offer exposure to the ‘implicit curriculum’, that is, things students are expected tolearn which do not appear explicitly on any course syllabus (e.g. ethics, group dynamics, Murphy’s Law).

The engineer was studied as a hero, as a character in science fiction, and as a villain of the anti-technology movement.
