We begin with a review of the broad spectrum of areas discussed in our first Engineering for Social Change book. Then we move on to an examination of key emerging technologies in areas that are already showing evidence of unintended consequences, and where significant social impacts could occur in the near future. Virtual reality, AI, bionics, IoT and others are beginning to change the way society interacts, even at a basic human level. How will we change as a society when new ideas like the metaverse, NFTs, cryptocurrency and deepfakes become commonplace, and our connections become virtual and less concrete in nature? It is emphasized that we can no longer focus engineering design with just technical considerations, but societal needs must be strongly integrated into design courses for engineers. The consideration of philanthropy and nonprofits by engineering students has gotten special attention, which has been enhanced by our continued connection with the School of Public Policy. After a considerable amount of discussion, we decided to touch on a topic mostly ignored in the engineering curriculum. That is the participation of Black people in technology. The issue of Black Lives Matter and the widespread protests in 2020 have forced us to examine the long-standing opportunities denied to this community. We review a brief history of how we got here and end the chapter recognizing some notable role models important for future success. As a companion to this book, Dylan Hazelwood wrote The Technological Manipulation of Humanity. The reader need not to be a technologist or scientist to enjoy the book, which is a collection of vignettes examining how technology is impacting our lives in sometimes unseen ways. The book ends with a discussion of the tremendous gifts and conflicts of technology, and poses the perennial question; is there any way to ensure that technological developments increase our happiness?

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

The National Research Council's Panel on Engineering Interactions with Society was formed to examine the functioning of the engineering profession in the context of, and in relation to, American society. This document presents the findings of the panel. The panel's inquiry was twofold. First, it examined the impact that engineering and technology development has had on the nation, including the impact on societal demands, values, and perceptions on engineering. Next, the panel attempted to assess the structure and development of the engineering profession, and the adaptability of the profession in meeting current and future national needs. Chapters in the document deal with: (1) the evolution of American engineering; (2) the present era (managing change in the information age); (3) engineering and social dynamics; (4) maintaining flexibility in an age of stress and rapid change; and (5) conclusions and recommendations. Appendices include 23 references and a 16-item bibliography, along with an article prepared by Arthur L. Donovan, entitled "Engineering in an Increasingly Complex Society: Historical Perspectives on Education, Practice, and Adaptation in American Engineering." (TW)

This open access book examines how the social sciences can be integrated into the praxis of engineering and science, presenting unique perspectives on the interplay between engineering and social science. Motivated by the report by the Commission on Humanities and Social Sciences of the American Association of Arts and Sciences, which emphasizes the importance of social sciences and Humanities in technical fields, the essays and papers collected in this book were presented at the NSF-funded workshop ‘Engineering a Better Future: Interplay between Engineering, Social Sciences and Innovation’, which brought together a singular collection of people, topics and disciplines. The book is split into three parts: A. Meeting at the Middle: Challenges to educating at the boundaries covers experiments in combining engineering education and the social sciences; B. Engineers Shaping Human Affairs: Investigating the interaction between social sciences and engineering, including the cult of innovation, politics of engineering, engineering design and future of societies; and C. Engineering the Engineers: Investigates thinking about design with papers on the art and science of science and engineering practice.
