This provocation provides a sample case for understanding accomplicerelationships and suggests heuristic for potential accomplices to use in establishing enduringcoalitions between Black and white women.IntroductionIn 1979, Audre Lorde [1] published a letter she’d written to Mary Daly, author of Gyn/Ecology.In it, Lorde, a Black queer woman poet and theorist, praised Daly for her work and yet shared thereality facing Lorde as she read it: To imply, however, that all women suffer the same oppression simply because we are women is to lose sight of the many varied tools of the patriarchy.

As such, engineering students need comprehensive and effectively designedinformation-seeking instruction.Traditionally, information-seeking behavior instruction is formally delivered in person, followedby in-class activities that give students opportunities to practice their skills. In this setting,instructors, librarians, and teaching assistants can directly observe and guide student behavior,while students can ask questions and receive real-time feedback. These interactions have beenshown to improve learning outcomes by facilitating student engagement [5]. With classes movedonline, educators are left to determine

Furthermore, most instruction on sustainability, as reported in the literature, appears tofocus on teaching the engineering student to be an engineer who practices sustainabledevelopment rather than a consumer who has a role in sustainable practice. In part, thisemphasis on the engineer's role in sustainability is a result of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET)'s mandate that engineering undergraduates complete theirdegrees having achieved student outcome (c): “...an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability

Also, the ABET criteria requires engineering programs toprovide “the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutionsin a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.” These two factors haveraised fundamental questions about how to effectively prepare engineering students toengage with underserved communities globally. This paper uses a case study approachto document the experiences of students of a global engineering course. This courseoffered students the unique opportunity to address sanitation and hygiene issues byworking with a community rather than for it.

To be productive and responsive inthis environment, engineering professionals must create innovative yet practical and responsiblesolutions that benefit society. As Schön (1983) argues, engineers will need to practice reflection-in-action (learning and adjusting as they perform) as well as reflection-on-action (intermittentanalysis of conditions that leads to major advances). As agents of change, they continuously askquestions, make judgments, learn, and choose appropriate actions. Engineers must be competent,reflective practitioners if they are to contribute effectively in a dynamic global environment.This paper

Proceedings that same year, Steneck, Olds, and Neeley(2002) argued that the EC2000 criteria “provide[d] opportunities for more clearly defining andstrengthening the role of liberal education in engineering” (p. 1). More specifically, they claimedthat “Liberal education can contribute significantly to the development of all the programoutcomes defined by ABET and is essential to seven of them” (d-j) and to the requirement thatthe major design experience prepare students to deal with “economic; environmental;sustainability; manufacturability; ethical, health, and safety; social; and political” issues.1Recognizing that the new scheme for accreditation specified outcomes but not how the newrequirements should be met and that many engineering educators

One notable researcher who spans these decades is John Heywood, whose“Engineering literacy for non-engineers K-12” argues that the non-engineering public must cometo appreciate the potential and the limitations of engineering, to situate that understanding withinsome ethical framework.1 He extends this work into a more-detailed explication of engineeringliteracy, worth replicating in whole: Engineering literacy requires that we understand how individual’s [sic], organizations and society interact with technology, and this requires an
