Starkey and colleagues5 use the term information fluency to refer to skills, attitudes,knowledge, and a range of ways of experiencing information use. In the Engineering Scienceprogram at Trinity University, for example, engineering students “learn to access, understand,and evaluate information, use it ethically, and create new material (papers, presentations, or otherproducts) based on that information” with an emphasis on critical and creative thinking.3 Thedevelopment of information fluency involves incremental growth in proficiency.5 It requiresmore than a single visit with the school librarian or a couple of written research assignments.Within a demanding and supportive

In addition to “hard” knowledge, engineersneed to experience and understand “communication, teamwork, and the ability to recognizeand resolve ethical dilemmas.”[1] These skills are powerful when combined with awarenessskills involving “understanding the impact of global and social factors, knowledge ofcontemporary issues, and the ability to do lifelong learning.”[1] What is the most effectiveway of incorporating this into

[5]. The ethical responsibility of engineers goes beyond the technical aspects of their work; they must consider the social and justice implications of the systems they create. For example, engineers can help reduce inequalities by designing accessible technologies that serve diverse populations or by developing infrastructure that meets the needs of underrepresented and underserved communities [5], [6]. This approach requires engineers to carefully evaluate how their work affects different social groups and to strive for solutions that promote inclusivity, equity, and justice. Engineers have a responsibility to ensure that their projects do not reinforce existing inequalities but instead work towards creating a fairer and more equitable

Robinson [3] analyzedengineering textbooks’ approaches to teaching electrical circuits over about 80 years (1940-2017), focusing on how they present and understand engineering knowledge. Although morerecent textbooks included brief “real-world” applications at the beginnings and ends of chapters,they primarily concentrated on mathematical analysis, problem-solving, and technical details,minimizing theoretical explanations. By contrast, earlier textbooks contained more detailedwritten explanations, emphasized theoretical understanding, and
