摘要
Engineering Justice by Leydens and Lucena explores the lack of instruction on equality and human rights in engineering education and the dismissal of these values in the practice of engineering. Both authors, academics teaching at the Colorado School of Mines, want to improve engineering education by incorporating social justice (SJ) in the engineering curriculum. The text is supported by a historical review and theoretical discussion, with practical how-to examples, increasing the potential of this work to become the social justice handbook for engineering educators. It is directed towards teachers and scholars in engineering, yet it conveys messages in an accessible tone, such that its narrative resembles an introductory book and less an advanced instruction manual. © 2019 IEEE.
