Why do engineers need to counter capitalism? Isn't engineering

because education institutions have been infected by economically illiterate Marxists, why else?

Isn't every ABET accredited engineer required to take some sort of ethics class for their degree

>Why do engineers need to counter capitalism?
We're already living in late stage capitalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_capitalism), communism is the logical next step.

>Why do engineers need to counter capitalism? Isn't engineering literally building something to a price...
the unskilled female engineers have to do something with those degrees since they can't do real jobs, might as well teach their specialty: how to destroy civilization

> gender is a key thread...
Pic related is just a clever way to complain some more about the so called gender pay gap and women's issues in STEM. It's really a gender studies course.

>Gender is a key thread running through the course in examining issues of water supply and quality, food production and energy.
>We take up racist and colonialist projects in science
>Using readings from philosophy, science and technology studies, and feminist postcolonial science studies, we explore these topics and encounter new models of science and engineering that are responsive to ethical concerns.
Is this shit mandatory, OP? Its seems like a tremendous waste of time. Ethics in engineering an science should be limited to environmental concerns and safety concerns. What you're about to learn is overly biased nonsense

>>9161020
environmental concerns are at least as biased as gender concerns

damn you really got me there

>>9160457
Yes, my class was engineering ethics. My professor lectured about case studies of disasters caused by poor engineering, and who received blame. I don't remember gender issues or economics being involved though.

>>9161043
wouldn't waste more than 10 words talking to retard

>>9160416
Marxism the class.

>>9160457
Yeah but its not this retarded

>marxists have been saying this for 100 fucking years, its never going to happen you lazy fucks
anarchy is the only answer, coercive social institutions must be brought to light and dismantled if we are supposed to survive/ have a socialist society

>>9161147
Yep. And then a group of individuals voluntarily form a hierarchical organization, voluntarily dividing labor and tasks on the basis of competence, and then this group outcompetes everyone else, and we're back to where we were.

As humans we all have an obligation fight back against capitalism

People are economic illiterates and seem to think that they can make supply/demand obsolete by making magical machines to do everything for them.

t. read a book or two about free market capitalism
