The Engineering, Social Justice and Peace effort, begun at Queens University by a group of concerned academics from across Canada and the United States in the fall 2004, focuses upon the connections that exist among engineering and the pursuit of social justice and peace. Several conferences of interested faculty and practitioners have been held subsequently. The present work offers a new paradigm for engineering education based on the Integral Model of Education for Peace, Democracy and Sustainable Development and suggests modifications to the ABET criteria; proposes an engineering code of ethics based upon the notion of community in a morally deep world; and describes an engineering design algorithm consistent with the new code.
