Reeks: IEEE PCS Professional Engineering Communication Series
Jon A. Leydens ; Juan C. Lucena
- 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
- learningUsing
- social
- justice
- as
- a
- catalyst
- for
- curricular
- transformation,

- 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:Engineering
- Justice
- is
- an
- important
- book
- for
- today’s
- professors,
- administrators,
- and
- curriculum
- specialists
- who
- seek
- to
- produce
