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.

展示工程課程如何成為在工程領域中使社會正義可見的場所,探索工程實踐中固有的複雜社會技術互動,並增強教學與學習
以社會正義作為課程轉型的催化劑,Engineering Justice 檢視政治、文化及其他社會議題如何固有於工程實踐中。它旨在使工程課程與社會正義的結果對齊,增加代表性不足群體的入學人數,並減少持續存在的性別、階級和族裔差距,透過展示工程知識的力量如何被明確地利用來服務於弱勢群體並解決社會不平等。這本書旨在改變教育者對工程課程的思考方式,透過創建或改造現有課程來吸引、留住並激勵工程學生成為實踐社會正義的專業人士。
Engineering Justice 提供了引人深思的章節,內容包括:為何社會正義在工程教育和實踐中固有卻常常不可見;為社會正義而設計的工程;工程科學中的社會正義;針對工程師的人文與社會科學課程中的社會正義;以及轉變工程教育和實踐。此外,本書:
- 為工程教育者提供一個轉型框架,涵蓋服務學習、專業溝通、人道工程、社區服務、社會企業和社會責任
- 包括工程師在工作中可以使用的策略,以倡導社會正義議題並向雇主、客戶和主管解釋其重要性
- 討論工程教育背景中的多樣性及其如何影響學生的學習和發展
Engineering Justice 是當今教授、行政人員和課程專家所需的重要書籍,旨在培養出今天和明天最優秀的工程師。
