Bringing it down from the ivory tower: Translating Engineering-for-Community-Development (ECD) graduate education and research into community engagement and undergraduate student learning
Traditional graduate engineering training often lacks frameworks to view engineering as a socio-technical endeavour in the service of vulnerable populations, while graduate engineering research is often done to advance the careers of graduate advisors, presented in professional conferences, published in academic journals, and evaluated according to its contributions to the output of research labs. This paper shows how graduate students working on…
Autonomy Where the Underground and Aboveground Meet: Processing Plants in Colombian Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining
Social science research about extraction often conflates mining and ore processing activities or disregards processing altogether. This article highlights the value of studying mineral processing as a distinct domain. Our article centers on processing plants used for artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), where miners employ their "empirical" knowledge about processing through bodily interactions with their ore to transform it into a commo…
Pollution, obligation, and care: Perspectives from artisanal and small-scale gold mining and farming in rural Colombia
People making a living in rural Antioquia, Colombia, find themselves in a double bind: they require a healthy environment to farm and grow food, but many turn to artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) to supplement their incomes. The significant environmental harms associated with ASGM – from mercury and other heavy-metal contamination to deforestation and habitat loss – have led to both academic and popular discourse treating ASGM as an en…
A review of the environmental and health implications of recycling mine tailings for construction purposes in artisanal and small-scale mining communities
Voces Mineras: Clarifying the future of artisanal and small-scale mining collaborations
“Using a creative capacity building (CCB) framework, co-design workshops among artisanal and small-scale gold miners, government officials, NGO representatives, and academics can provide an effective mechanism to identify pressing needs and desires of miners and operators towards formalization. As recently implemented in Peru, one of these workshops identified the need for a single forum (association) to allow artisanal and small-scale miners to …
Invisible innovators: How low-income, first-generation students use their funds of knowledge to belong in engineering
Though engineering is often perceived as a pathway of upward mobility in the United States, very little is known about the experiences of undergraduate engineering students who come from low-income backgrounds or are the first in their families to attend college. The little research that does exist on low-income, first-generation (LIFG) engineering students is grounded in a deficiency perspective that emphasizes the barriers these students face: …
Engineering Education for Social Justice: Critical Explorations and Opportunities
Imagining nation, envisioning progress: Emperor, agricultural elites, and imperial ministers in search of engineers in 19th century Brazil
This study shows how the development of engineering schools in 19th century Brazil is intimately linked with images of nation and visions of progress held by social actors who materialized these into engineering schools, curricula, and graduates. The study proposes that theories of nation present interesting conceptual and empirical challenges for engineering studies scholars by inviting us to explain the emergence and preeminence of engineering …
De Criollos a Mexicanos: Engineers' Identity and the Construction of Mexico
This paper describes and analyzes the relationship between engineers' identity and the construction of the Mexico from Independence to the present. It covers the main periods of political change in Mexican history to highlight how engineers' identities are (re)shaped when the relationship between the State and its population changes. It focuses on the development of engineering education institutions as sites of identity formation where engineers…
Knowledge and professional identity in engineering: Code‐switching and the metrics of progress
When nations redefine their priorities and re‐plot their directions of travel, engineers get worried about the contents of their knowledge. The cultural and historical specificity of their responses illustrates the extent to which the questions of what counts as engineering knowledge and what counts as an engineer are linked tightly together, and also suggests that both may be tied to local images of the nation. After summarizing recent historica…
Flexible Engineers: History, Challenges, and Opportunities for Engineering Education
Flexibility is a desired characteristic that people must have to adjust to inevitable processes of economic, cultural, and political globalization. Engineering education reform is often used as a justification for changes in curricula, delivery modes, and problem solving that should lead to curriculum integration, modular pedagogies, and systemic reform. Some educators have incorporated the concept in their programs and courses in a variety of wa…
