Special session - engineering for social justice

Abstract

Engineering for social justice seeks to promote social justice through exploration of the role of engineering in future society. It is our intent to offer this special session as a mechanism whereby engineering educators, researchers and practitioners can meet and exchange information, discuss and explore problems associated with an engineering education paradigm that actively promotes social justice. We shall do this by challenge and reflection. It is our broader aim to examine the relationships that exist among social justice, engineering and engineering education and to begin establishing a scholarly research community, which will continue the exploration
