Technological advancement brings with it ethical challenges and unforeseen consequences, making it essential for engineers to evaluate the human and social impacts of their creations. This research sought to answer how the Critical Theory of Technology (CTT) can guide engineers towards a more inclusive and socially responsible technological design, questioning for whom it is designed and the resulting power distributions. This study managed to determine the contribution that CTT makes to Social Responsibility (SR) in engineering. Using qualitative analysis and Atlas.ti software, 28 documents were reviewed, applying inductive coding for CTT and deductive for SR. Key elements were identified and correlated. The research highlights which elements of CTT have greater or lesser relevance in SR during technological design. Key subcategories such as critical thinking skills and instrumentalization in CTT, and SIS competencies, morality, and innovation in SR were identified. CTT emphasizes the importance of individual criticism, social interest, and ethics, while SR focuses on self-management and moral awareness. Both categories contribute to responsible technological design and positive social impact. Elements of CTT such as social interest and the democratization of technology are vital for SR, promoting engineering solutions with a human and ethical focus. This research highlights how CTT can improve engineering practices through more inclusive and sustainable technology.
