Victor Weisskopf said “Human existence is based upon two pillars: compassion and knowledge. Compassion without knowledge is ineffective; knowledge without compassion is inhuman.” A cursory examination of how science and engineering have operated historically reveals a litany of instances where they serve oppression. Neither is inherently good. Both exist within the context of societal frameworks and cannot be isolated panaceas for challenges of the day. Whether to install pipeline infrastructure in Standing Rock or Flint results in disparate health and economic outcomes depending on race and class. Whether to introduce the class “Hacking 4 Defense” into curriculums, or one titled “Engineering Ethics and the Public,” trains engineers towards drastically different ends. Recognition of such frameworks may imbue us with the critical conscientiousness and political consciousness necessary to take commensurate action. Only then will science and engineering contribute to reimagining and remaking the world in an equitable fashion never seen before.

Writing Prompt sent to the International Engineering, Social Justice, and Peace community and other engineering education sub-communitiess (primarily in North America: Our objective is to capture your thoughts, experiences, and responses to intersecting crises of COVID-19, white supremacy, anti-blackness, police violence, late capitalism, technologies and engineerings, power formations, state violence, academia, and engineering education over the past year. We wish to break the mould and create a space for the entire engineering community - students, educators, and professionals to share varied perspectives. Being oral history, this project is free from the usual academic barriers or gatekeeping. No citations needed if you do not wish to do so. While we aim to keep editorial interference at a minimum, we do not intend to include entries that (in our aesthetic and axiological judgement) can cause significant structural, cultural, or emotional harm to marginalised communities. We recognise that such filtering is hard to fully specify. The "objectives" statement above could be a guide for providing you a sense for what we are looking for. Entries should align with IJESJP's focus on engendering dialog on engineering practices that enhance gender, racial, class, and cultural equity and are democratic, non-oppressive, and non-violent. We acknowledge that even this filter limits the expression of particular forms of knowing and being. Our commitments are available here: http://esjp.org/about-esjp/our-commitments We are inspired by the way stories are told and archived through oral history, and feel the need to capture these stories before they become lost in the flux of our ongoing crises. Such history can be a story, anger and frustrations through rant, back of the envelope ideas and theories, poems, prose, fiction, critiques. This history is anything and everything you wish to document in time. Instructions: Please provide the following information by August 15th, 2021. Entry. Title, optional File upload, optional. Name, gender pronouns, and affiliations of authors Do you want your submission anonymous?

The field of engaged engineering encompasses a wide diversity of intervention approaches and ideals that span from Enactus’ social entrepreneurship to grassroots engineering’s liberating co-construction of other possible sociotechnical orders. In common, these initiatives intend to be empowering, even though this concept is hardly thematized in their publications and has never undergone a more systematic analysis. In this paper, departing from an illustration of that lack of reflection (or rigor) concerning empowerment, a general definition for it is first provided to, subsequently, be specified in seven different dimensions related to the assisted community’s empowerment that can be addressed via sociotechnical interventions, from social inclusion to political emancipation. Thus, it analyzes the relationship between empowerment and emancipation, including the risk of disempowering. Next, an analysis of the interventions practiced by Brazilian Enactus’ leading teams and some grassroots engineering initiatives illustrates the provided conceptual framework. The paper concludes by highlighting key issues of empowerment and its relation to emancipation, and addressing some further research themes related to this investigation: refining the presented dimensions of community empowerment, and analyzing empowerment to the broader context of a sociotechnical intervention (e.g., academia, the the state, civil society and economic actors).

In Bogota, the speed limit in five corridors with the highest concentration of traffic crashes victims in the city was reduced from 60 to 50 km/h since November 2018. The average speed reduction in the corridors with speed management was 1.48 km/h during daytime and 3.04 km/h during nighttime. In arterial corridors without speed management, the average speed reduction was 0.7 km/h during daytime and 2.2 km/h during nighttime. The speed management measure influenced a reduction of 16.6% in the number of fatalities and an 10.5% increase of crashes with injuries. The severity of the crashes decreased. The average count of run over crashes was also reduced by 10%. Changes in the geographical distribution of crashes with injuries and fatalities along the corridors with speed management indicate the necessity to implement stricter enforcement measures to increase the effectiveness of speed management operations during nighttime.
