ItIntroductionThe world’s increasingly global economy has created a steadily growing market for engineerswho can work in a globalized environment (Jesiek & Beddoes, 2010). The need for suchengineers has increased even more rapidly in developing nations where population growthoutpaces technological solutions. To be competitive both at home and abroad, Americanengineers must learn how to interact productively with people from a range of cultures andcustoms (Ball, Zaugg, Davies, Tateishi, Parkingson, Gensen, & Magleby, 2012). Americaneducation must produce global engineers.Unfortunately, there is no standard definition of global engineer. A recent literature reviewreveals the extensive debate about this term. (See Jesiek, Zhu, Woo, Hompson, &

engineeringeducation. Engineering education’s rigid methodologies and the inflexible “gauntlet” ofengineering curricula are highly structured– but is conformist, highly structured thinkingnecessarily a gateway to complacency in the face of injustice? Could aspects of engineeringeducation make one more comfortable within systems of domination? Or, might the rigidconformist nature of engineering education make it more attractive to those with suchtendencies?Technological development has historically accelerated under authoritarian regimes, including thedesign and implementation of some of the most violent technologies in history. While someacademics have provided full-throated critiques of authoritarianism, academia itself has also longstood to protect white
