Seems like a misguided attempt to break engineering the same way social sciences were largely broken; by embedding left-wing politics at their core so that their assumptions are not scrutinized and by substituting sound scientific method with literary analysis.

It's addressed to a subset of artists and engineers deeply concerned with the political and interpretative dimensions of engineering. While there is usually a technical aspect to critical engineering projects, most engage issues well beyond the scope of the "sound scientific method." See: CV Dazzle by Adam Harvey.
