inengineering by producing a legitimate artifact and producing knowledge.DiscussionDominant engineering paradigms often rely on having resources. As indicated by Wachs [48],engineers have been masters of technology driven mostly by economic motives and influencedby corporations and government. Rasquachismo, on the other hand, is a model that has beenappropriated by those who do not have resources and embrace ambiguity, ingenuity, andresourcefulness - rasquachismo is rooted in experience for survival and resistance. Nonetheless,rasquachismo also becomes a vehicle to the world of engineering. Similar to engineering,rasquachismo seeks to (1) generate potential solutions to a problem, (2) accomplish simple tasksthrough complex ingenuity, (3) generate

It also provides us with amechanism whereby we can refuse ethically to work on a particular project even thoughthe device itself may meet basic safety requirements. We also may refuse to work onprojects that held paramount public safety but excluded considerations of theenvironment or the impact our device might have upon a community.There is little doubt within the scientific community that the Earth’s climate is changingand that it is the activities, that is, the technologies of humankind that are playing asignificant role in producing the changes.
