“…Half a century after the creed originated, our world is facing irreparable damage and destruction that has direct connections to and repercussions from the consequences of engineering. More specifically, there was and continues to be a lack of comprehensive engineering assessment of the societal, ethical, health and safety, environmental, political, and sustainability issues and a lack of systems thinking [9] that can be addressed with research [7,10,11].…”

“…Although not everyone will become an engineer, we all will need problem-solving and negotiation experience, tolerance for ambiguity, an understanding of systems thinking, and at least basic STEM literacy to be an active participant in making decisions about communities in our world [7,10,12]. Democratic practices are ways that we are a community in the making [13].…”

is currently a postdoctoral engineering education research associate with Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) Innovation Centre. She completed her Doctoral degree from Teachers College, Columbia University where she studied engineering education. She is the Global Chair and founding director of the National Academy of Engineering Longhorn Grand Challenges Scholars & K12 Partners Program at The University of Texas at Austin. Dr. White is also the director of an outreach program called Design, Technology, & Engineering for All Children (DTEACh)which has reached more than 1000 teachers and 85,000 students. She is the lead inventor on a patent for assistive technology. Her current research includes global competencies, innovative design-based pedagogy, humanitarian engineering, and ways to attract and retain traditionally underrepresented groups in engineering education.

Since the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges were first publicly articulated in 2008, engineering educators have used its ideas to motivate their work. While there is a sense of moral imperative around pursuing selected Challenges, work that critically examines the ethics of the Grand Challenges has so far been rare. In this paper, examining the process surrounding the framing of the Grand Challenges generates a series of ethical questions about both the specifics of the Challenges and the processes that gave rise to them. The outcomes of this inquiry include a set of research questions for scholars in engineering ethics and engineering studies, and a Grand Challenges lesson plan for classroom implementation that focuses students on the ethics of problem framing, and the consideration of social questions as an integral part of professional ethics.
