In the fall of 2016, ACCE started the compulsory implementation of its newly formulated and approved accreditation standards. The new standards represent a major shift from the older prescriptive version that focused on curriculum topical content (CTC) and counting the number of hours dedicated to different courses/topics. The new standards, following other accreditation norms and responding to public demands calling for more accountability, focus on learning outcomes achieved through the academic curriculum as evidenced by

These two sections wererecently revised to include more sociotechnical readings, discussions, and homework facilitatedwith learning assistants. We are interested in understanding the self-described sense of belongingthat these students feel as they relate it to learning about engineering as a sociotechnical field.While the dualism between engineering's technical and social dimensions has been studied inASEE LEES papers, articles in Engineering Studies, broader engineering education research, andScience, Technology, and Science publications (e.g., Cech, 2013; Faulkner, 2007; Leydens &Lucena, 2017; Riley, 2017; Wisnioski, 2012), there is a need to

approach societal problems. TheNational Center for Engineering and Technology Education [34] defined EDP as an approachencompassing identification of a problem and developing a model that is refined through dataanalysis to produce a solution consisting of social and technological elements [35], [34].According to Katehi et al. [2], EDP is in essence, “the central activity of engineering” [2, pp. 56].Wulf [17] explained that engineers regularly tackle problems through consideration oflimitations and constraints (i.e., cost, time, materials, etc.) all the while still deriving solutionsthat cater to human wants and needs. Hence, EDP identifies a problem and works towards thedesign of a viable solution through an iterative set of practices [26
