Shows how the engineering curriculum can be a site for rendering
social justice visible in engineering, for exploring complex
socio-technical interplays inherent in engineering practice, and
for enhancing teaching and learning Using social justice as a
catalyst for curricular transformation, Engineering Justice
presents an examination of how politics, culture, and other social
issues are inherent in the practice of engineering. It aims to
align engineering curricula with socially just outcomes, increase
enrollment among underrepresented groups, and lessen lingering
gender, class, and ethnicity gaps by showing how the power of
engineering knowledge can be explicitly harnessed to serve the
underserved and address social inequalities. This book is meant to
transform the way educators think about engineering curricula
through creating or transforming existing courses to attract,
retain, and motivate engineering students to become professionals
who enact engineering for social justice. Engineering Justice
offers thought-provoking chapters on: why social justice is
inherent yet often invisible in engineering education and practice;
engineering design for social justice; social justice in the
engineering sciences; social justice in humanities and social
science courses for engineers; and transforming engineering
education and practice. In addition, this book: Provides a
transformative framework for engineering educators in service
learning, professional communication, humanitarian engineering,
community service, social entrepreneurship, and social
responsibility Includes strategies that engineers on the job can
use to advocate for social justice issues and explain their
importance to employers, clients, and supervisors Discusses
diversity in engineering educational contexts and how it affects
the way students learn and develop Engineering Justice is an
important book for today's professors, administrators, and
curriculum specialists who seek to produce the best engineers of
today and tomorrow.
