EDUCATION IN ENGINEERING LECTURE
\nCo-hosted with the Institute for Studies in Tran sdisciplinary Engineering Education & Practice (ISTEP) p>\n
Host: Pr of. Greg Evans
\n\n
Social activism has increase
d\, even during the COVID pandemic\, around both systemic racism in North
America and around the climate crisis internationally. While both movemen
ts have roots decades old\, we are not yet seeing a sea-change in engineer
ing curricula around either\, despite its necessity. I argue there are sim
ilarities between engineering education’s intransigence on social justice
and equity issues and its lack of adequate response regarding the global c
limate crisis. Scholars in linguistics\, education\, sociology\, and criti
cal race studies\, and journalists writing about the climate crisis\, can
help us see how both are related to a moral discussion rather than the tec
hno-rational one that scientists\, engineers\, and science and engineering
educators seem most equipped to have. In this talk\, I call for the deve
lopment of a moral infrastructure to address both engineering education’s
foundation in white supremacy\, and its global obligation to halt the anth
ropogenic climate crisis.
