What Do We Mean When We Write About Ethics, Equity, And Justice In Engineering Design?
By Madhurima Das, Gillian Roeder, Anastasia K. Ostrowski, Maria C. Yang, and Aditi Verma
Designers must consider ethics, equity, and justice in their work, although these terms are minimally present in engineering design literature. The presence of these terms is increasing, and motivations include sustainability and education. An expanded design justice framework is proposed.
