The course is a three-credit elective course offered annually to engineering students. The overall course itself was originally co-conceived and co-developed by an engineer, one of the authors of this paper, and a medical ethnographer, with the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF) [1]. The learning objectives, topics, and assignments are presented in Table 1. The course aims to address relationships between engineering, science, and society by incorporating listening exercises, personal reflections, individual

The United States saw only 10% of the global science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) bachelor’s degrees in 2018 [1]. About half ofstudents who enter a STEM program do not graduate with a STEM degree; most of thesestudents drop out during their first or second year of college due to the increasing difficulty andcomplexity of STEM programs [2], [3], [4].

Theimplementation of NGSS requires that teachers understand engineers’ use of design in their workas well as the ways that engineering is connected to science, technology, and society. The waysin which an engineer’s work connects to science, technology, and society is dependent upon thespecific context in which they are working, and offering students opportunities to engage withproblems situated within realistic engineering contexts can help students meaningfully learnmathematics and science [3].

This teaching takesplace in the context of rectilinear motion using examples that extend across all three topic areas.This gives students an overview of the course, allowing them to make connections between whatcan seem like isolated topics. It also makes the course more robust; students learn the big ideasearly on, and the rest of the course develops these ideas for cases of increasing complexity.Exciting examples that students can relate to are used to teach the material which helps
