“…Accordingly, our findings contribute to the literature on social innovation and entrepreneurship, in the context of developing economies, as well as informs social entrepreneurs and policymakers on sources of potential synergy in their efforts. The results of this study help to raise awareness towards sustainability challenges and possible solutions both from top-down and bottom-up perspectives, especially in developing countries [34], to understand the role of stakeholders and offer ideas and knowledge for social entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers [13] and to foster sustainability education with ideas exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration [35,36].…”

The shift towards a sustainability-driven society includes changes to the educational system, business operations, innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems as well as policymaking. Moreover, such a shift demands particularly a combination of top-down policy-making initiatives and bottom-up social entrepreneur-driven changes. Social innovation and entrepreneurship are providing solutions for globally recognized social and sustainability challenges such as poverty, education, environmental and climate change, peace support -worldwide yet also in the particularly challenging context of developing economies.We aim to showcase the best practices of social and sustainability-oriented innovation and entrepreneurship in the context of developing economies. In particular, we address the question of how social entrepreneur and innovator with bottom-up ideas could complement the top-down policymaking initiatives. Our design implies qualitative research aiming to disseminate the inspiring story of a social innovative enterprise, which represents a successful example of complementing policy-making efforts. Accordingly, our findings contribute to the literature on social innovation and entrepreneurship in the context of developing economies and simultaneously informs social entrepreneurs and policymakers on potential opportunities for synergy in their efforts.

“…Through collaboration with community stakeholders, students develop not only technical proficiency but also interpersonal and cross-cultural competencies crucial for effective engineering practice (Denton and Borrego, 2021). Community-engaged engineering education empowers students to apply their knowledge and skills to create sustainable solutions that benefit society while instilling a commitment to lifelong learning and civic engagement (Indumathi et al, 2019). Thus, community-engaged theories in engineering education serve as catalysts for preparing a new generation of socially conscious and globally minded engineers.…”

IntroductionEngineering professors involved in community projects strive to enhance engagement through a combination of social sciences and engineering methodologies. Recognizing the growing importance of critical methodologies, particularly those rooted in social justice and community design, researchers have explored their impact on fostering meaningful collaborations between engineers, students, and community partners.MethodsThis study employs a phenomenographic approach to explore how a cohort of engineering professors, students, and community members conceptualize their participation in community-engaged practices.ResultsOur findings reveal a nuanced outcome space comprising five distinct ways in which individuals perceive their community engagement: as interdisciplinary endeavors, addressing community issues, engaging in co-design, and addressing systemic barriers. These conceptual frameworks elucidate a progression in the depth of engineers’ involvement with the community, underscoring the significance of systems literacy and social justice in more intricate contexts.DiscussionThese results advocate for engineers to adopt an active membership approach, emphasizing collaboration, when working on engineering projects within communities, as opposed to adopting passive roles that may undermine the impact of community engagement.ConclusionIn conclusion, a deeper understanding of the varied conceptualizations of community engagement among engineering professors, students, and community members underscores the importance of adopting proactive roles and fostering collaborative approaches in community projects.

“…” Engineers should participate in public debates ( Bauschpies et al., 2018 ) and not only provide technical solutions but contribute to citizen diplomacy. They need to address 21st-century concerns such as supporting development of a more sustainable, stable, fair ( Catalano, 2006 ), and peaceful world by moving from a culture of war ( Hoople and Choi-Fitzpatrick, 2017 ) to safeguarding and enriching humanity ( Indumathi et al., 2018 ). To be successful, engineers will need to work at an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary level ( Borrego and Newswander, 2008 ).…”

Highlights Technology contributes to peace in democracies but may not in non-democracies. E-voting provides benefits but also raises concerns and conflicts. Blockchain transparency and traceability can reduce concerns about e-voting. The benefits of peace engineering in elections depend on human factors. Trust in both tool and system is key for adopting disruptive technologies.
