ERI: A Mixed-Methods Study of Statistical Thinking, Informed by Engineering PracticeThis short report gives an update on the NSF-supported project “ERI: Towards Data-CapableEngineers with a Variability-Capable Mindset” (Grant No. 2138463).Statistical variability is important, but under-emphasized in engineering. Variability is thephenomenon of non-identical behavior, which has important effects on designing systems forpeople (who are different), and on designing for safety (in the face of variable conditions). Ourproject seeks to better understand how people—engineers in particular—react to statisticalvariability, and to use these insights to improve undergraduate education.Statistical variability is under-emphasized in

Byinterrogating these conditions, we can move towards a more critical understanding of how aproject’s context including PI motivation, leadership ideology, scaling goals, and administrativebackbone may or may not influence potential outcomes. These factors are usually eitherpresented by project leaders in shorthand as “background conditions” for proposed research,barely relevant to the envisioned intervention, or omitted entirely from research design. Thisdeemphasis may have a practical purpose, cordoning off politically sensitive activity amidbroader institutional resistance to DEI, but it is an approach

Nieusma [4]argues that it is important to frame engineering curricula with liberal education that scaffoldsstudents’ reflexive practices rather than augment by adding more liberal arts. Similarly,communication should be integrated throughout curricula with multiple opportunities to developskills through practice [8]. To encourage students to consider the sociotechnical aspects of engineering design, manyprograms implement a human-centered or user-centered design (UCD) pedagogy.
