摘要

Multi-university research suggests that despite efforts to foster intercultural awareness among U.S. engineering students involved in community engagement initiatives, such students do not show significant gains - and some show decreases - in intercultural development. Recent research also indicates that even in engineering programs designed to foster public and/or community engagement, U.S. engineering students show evidence of a culture of disengagement. As one approach to address these awareness and engagement gaps, this paper proposes an engineering for social justice framework that, among other factors, promotes identification of underlying root causes of social inequity and enhancement of human capabilities across curricular contexts, including communication courses. Drawing from coded analyses of student papers and evaluations of student discourse, findings from a course in Intercultural Communication suggest the engineering for social justice framework adds value in important ways. Students begin to question and disrupt less agile forms of intercultural awareness, to develop more complex forms of intercultural communication awareness, and to recognize the importance of public/community engagement. Implications for professional communication scholars, engineering curricula, and community engagement initiatives are discussed.
