Defending the Nation is a cultural history of science and engineering (S&E) policymaking in the United States from World War II to the post 9/11 era. It examines aspects of S&E policy related to education and industry through both historical and future perspectives. Author Juan Lucena argues that powerful social factors and groups have significantly influenced the education and training of scientists and engineers. This book provides policymakers, scientists, engineers, and educators with a deeper knowledge on which to build their reform agendas for the future.

The first has to do with a missing framework to put engineering in the service of social justice, to date that framework has remained under-researched and unelaborated. Second, no book-length work has described the implications of such a social justice framework for multiple components of the engineering curriculum: specifically, the engineering sciences, engineering design, and the humanities and social sciences, particularly professional communication. Finally, of all the research focused on how to recruit and retain students from...
