  • Description

This book presents an effective solution to three issues. The first has to do with a missing framework to put engineering in the service of social justice, to date that framework has remained under-researched and unelaborated. Second, no book-length work has described the implications of such a social justice framework for multiple components of the engineering curriculum: specifically, the engineering sciences, engineering design, and the humanities and social sciences, particularly professional communication. Finally, of all the research focused on how to recruit and retain students from underrepresented groups in engineering education, the majority focuses on extracurricular activities. This book is unique in presenting ways to create viable cultural spaces so social justice can complement learning primarily within the curriculum. In so doing, engineering educators can recruit and retain excellent, underrepresented students who yearn to see a curriculum animated by a strong sense of social purpose and meaning.  Using social justice as a catalyst for curricular transformation, the book aims to increase enrollment among underrepresented groups, lessening lingering gender, class and ethnicity gaps by showing how the power of engineering knowledge can be harnessed to serve the underserved and address social inequalities.  This book aims to transform how educators think about--and enact--the engineering curriculum. In so doing, those educators will reshape how tomorrow’s engineering professionals perform engineering for social justice.
