The first is a group of open-ended questionsabout the role of technology in their mathematics and engineering experience, perceptions ofapplicability of tools across disciplines, and perceptions of preparedness for computing inengineering. The second question type follows the posing of four differential equation problemscenarios of graduated complexity and level of engineering context. Problems were assembledwith the aid of three experienced DE instructors at two of the participant universities. (The firsttwo problems, to which initial student responses will be discussed here, are included in Table 1.)Engineering instructor interviews

be a “good” engineer.IntroductionIn 2004, the National Academies of Engineering released the “The Engineer of 2020: Visions ofEngineering in the New Century” report in an effort to highlight the role engineers would hold inour future society [1]. A topic of discussion was the impact of the engineer on societal changes,focusing mainly on the importance of incorporating social contexts into engineering. TheNational Academy of Engineering envisioned an era of engineering education that resulted inengineers that are “leaders, able to balance the gains afforded by new technologies with thevulnerabilities created by their byproducts without compromising the well-being of society andhumanity” [1, p. 19].

The White dominant perspective, or dominant social paradigm (DSP), istypically characterized as a world view in which humans subdue or conquer the natural world inorder to support technological progress [5]. This paradigm is so embedded in engineering that itis considered the norm, hence, we need an understanding of how other worldviews can also beincorporated in engineering. Since worldviews are often influenced by individuals’ homecultures [6], conflict and marginalization can particularly occur when a student’s worldviewdiffers from the anthropocentric worldview that dominates White cultures – includingengineering education.
