The concept of funds of knowledge emerged from the work ofVelez-Ibañez and Greenberg [4] who described the strategic and cultural resources and skillsutilized by Mexican American families in the U.S. Southwest. They described how these“specific strategic bodies of information” [4, p. 314], were utilized to ensure and maintain thewell-being of their families. For instance, they described families and their knowledge of folkmedicine to provide medical care for their families due to the lack of doctors and thediscrimination faced by Mexican Americans in rural areas in the Southwest.

In part, this finding reflectsthe diversity of design practitioners, who may experience design in a variety of ways [8]. In part,this finding also reflects the diversity of settings in which design is practiced, the changingnature of those settings over time [7], and expansion of design thinking outside of the traditionaldesign settings (e.g., architecture, product design) from which it emerged [4].One important setting for novel applications of

As the industry continues to expand and there is a greater need forcommunication and leadership abilities in the 21st century, engineers who are working areanticipated to possess both technical expertise and professional skills. However, the typicalchemical engineering undergraduate core curriculum has not adapted to prepare students for themultiple needs encompassed by the chemical industry.

Instructors demonstrated moderate support for STSE, with a strong orientationtowards problem solving and design, but shared concerns, in particular about exploring issues ofsocial justice and fairness and the possibility of imposing bias on students. This is reflective ofwork in engineering education that highlights the apolitical nature of engineering and itsresonance in undergraduate engineering programs. Finally, a reframing of STSE is offered toacknowledge the role of problem solving rather than issue exploration in engineering, whilehighlighting the need to further consider the context of engineering activities, aligned with recentwork on sociotechnical thinking and social
