liberatory pedagogy in bell hooks’ Teaching to Transgress. Ibegin by summarizing some key ideas from the book and subsequent calls for more liberatorypedagogies in engineering education. Next, I provide some context for my specific course as wellas my positionality. I discuss the course redesign along four themes: creating a community oflearning, transgressing against objectivity and apoliticism in engineering, promoting legitimacyand intellectual authority, and centering critical reflection. Finally, I conclude by reflecting onmy successes and challenges, and providing some lessons learned about “teaching to transgress”in an engineering technology and society course that I hope will be useful to instructors ofsimilar courses.BackgroundTeaching to

) framework to actively promote research quality.Our reflection data illustrate how numerical reporting conventions, formative life experiences,and professional aspirations can all affect a young engineer's perception of the relevance ofvariability. We conclude with a discussion of implications for instructional practice.IntroductionVariability—the phenomenon of non-identical values—is core to modern science. The movebeyond calculating averages to the study of real variation is one of the most important scientificdevelopments of the 19th century [1]. Ernst Mayr [2] positions variability as fundamental tounderstanding evolution through “population thinking.” Statistics as a discipline exists in largepart to develop techniques to study variability

The PAR approach combines participants andexperts in the research of social practices [12]. Generally, PAR includes cycles of reflection,planning, action, and observation. In education, PAR can be employed by instructors who wishto improve their teaching or courses by gathering evidence of teaching effectiveness

This omission is problematic when juxtaposed to the motivation behindmuch of educators' work: to better prepare engineering students for the profession ofengineering. If classroom settings continue to be just that, students will continue to be ill-equipped for their transitions into the workforce. This paper tests a unique approach to studentteam formation, reflective journaling, and final grading by mimicking certain aspects of theprofessional setting in the classroom – especially as it relates to team formation, projectmanagement, and feedback.

Kolb’s experientiallearning theory is a noted example of a commonly cited learning theory presented in theliterature that maintains humanistic roots [8]. Experiential learning theory not only includes thecognitive aspects of learning, but also addresses one’s subjective experiences [9], defininglearning as “the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience”(Kolb, 1984, p. 41).

Among the factors are the preconceptions in relation toSTEM careers, gender stereotypes, family attitudes, lack of women leaders in these areas whoare an example to inspire or to mentorship. The lack of gender equity for women inengineering is a global problem that has implications for society, as it means losing theopportunity to have this talent that is in such high demand today.
