motivate a student to want to be precise in a variety oftopics. It is not without significance that several engineering educators have in recent yearscalled on their colleagues to take note of what happens in primary (elementary) teaching [17].There has also been widespread recognition among engineering educators in the US that theway in which freshman courses are designed has a powerful influence on the motivation ofstudents to remain in engineering [18]. The initial stages of programs inengineering/technological literacy however short or long need to be oriented toward a stageof romance. At the other end of degree programs there is the hope that capstone projectsprovide the generalisation that is necessary. The project method is of course

Theauthors suggested that the excessive emotional arousal caused by VR high immersion distractsthe learner from cognitive processing of the information. On the other hand, Lai et al. resultsindicated that students using AR perceived a significantly lower extraneous cognitive loadcompared to those who learned with conventional multimedia [49].There were mixed results in terms of student preference.

This paper identifies and briefly describes four forms ofdesign: design for technology, HCD for users, HDC for communities, and design for socialjustice. The paper explores how social justice has been enacted—or neglected—in specificdesign contexts within engineering education, and how it can be further integrated in each ofthese forms of design education.This paper is part of a broader project to integrate social justice across three components ofengineering curricula—engineering design, engineering sciences

the program names contribute to some of these challenges,leading to questions about whether rebranding to a different name might be beneficial. Otherstudies have explored renaming motivations and results in geography [13], agronomy [14],writing programs [15], vocational education [16], and institutions [17], [18]. There is a generalconsensus that names are powerful, and changes often reveal tensions with the health and/oridentity of programs. Frazier et al. [13, p. 13] notes: “Do name changes reflect an expandedmission… or other goals such as addressing low enrollment, shifting student interests, or thedesire to project a fresh identity or realign with a new academic emphasis?” There may also beconcern about name recognition or conveying the

This estimate was based on their individual course curriculum plan.
