SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON ENGINEERS TECHNOLOGY & SO...

The profession of engineering in the United States has historically served the status quo 
feeding an ever-expanding materialistic and militaristic culture  remaining relatively
unresponsive to public concerns  and without significant pressure for change from within. This
book calls upon engineers to cultivate a passion for social justice and peace and to develop
the skill and knowledge set needed to take practical action for change within the profession.
Because many engineers do not receive education and training that support the kinds of critical
thinking  reflective decision-making  and effective action necessary to achieve social change 
engineers concerned with social justice can feel powerless and isolated as they remain
complicit. Utilizing techniques from radical pedagogies of liberation and other movements for
social justice  this book presents a roadmap for engineers to become empowered and engage one
another in a process of learning and action for social justice and peace.Table of contents:
What Do we Mean by Social Justice?   Mindsets in Engineering   Engineering and Social Injustice
Toward a More Socially Just Engineering   Turning Knowledge into Action: Strategies for Change
Parting Lessons for the Continuing Struggle
