engineer [6], making it difficult for some students to staymotivated and to continue their engineering studies [7]. In addition, this lack of societalcontextualization causes engineering students’ social responsibility to decrease over the courseof their education [1, 8, 9]. Engineering is sociotechnical by nature; the design process involvestechnical and non-technical (social, economic, environmental, political, legal, cultural, ethical)factors that are simultaneously connected with one another [10-12]. Graduates should beprepared with sociotechnical problem solving skills to tackle the complex engineering challengesfacing the world today and in the future [13, 14]. Courses that approach engineering from asociotechnical framework may better

4 include stress/strain and strength relationships, consolidation, permeability, and compaction of soils. Related geotechnical design problems included.Students improve upon Mohr circle skills from strength of materials coursework to determine soilstrength. In all laboratory experiments, students used samples of the collected failure material. Mostnotably, students performed a sieve analysis, and Atterberg limits testing to classify the soil as sandy silt.Both courses implemented the bank failure problem as SDL and PBL course projects. In accordance withABET outcomes, students iteratively solved the problem with respect to ethical duties and developed suchsolution methods.MethodsSite VisitThe team visited the site and

Integrated(VIVID) Storytelling, that makes use of educational comics for teaching humanistic subjectmatters to engineering students. Over the past two years, we have applied this pedagogy tothe teaching of visual thinking, storytelling, ethics, teamwork, motivation, and otherhumanistic topics in various curricular and co-curricular settings in two universities, includingtwo courses taken by all engineering students, a peer mentorship program attended by allfirst-year engineering students, two bridge-programs for students entering university, aworkshop for graduate researchers, and a STEAM program for female high school students.Our initial experience applying this pedagogy shows that by combining the engagingness ofvisual storytelling with the
