Creating and Implementing Course Content Contextualized with Anti-Racism and Social Justice in Chemical Engineering: How Faculty and Students Engaged in the Process

Abstract

Engineering curriculum often fails to connect content and decisions to impacts on diverse, particularly marginalized, communities. Given that integration of social justice ideas into curriculum is currently uncommon among most faculty, we provide resources in the form of a workshop to help catalyze these efforts by teaching faculty how to incorporate social justice into homework and example problems. Through faculty and student surveys, we show the feasibility of this work and benefits on student learning.
