studies (STS), engineering studies,and the humanities and social sciences more broadly. All data is constructed through human andsocial processes, and data analytics and algorithmic systems remix this data to drive futuredecision-making. Engineering-minded students initially may find it intuitive to draw a boxaround “the technical system” (say, an algorithm for risk assessment) and separate it from“everything else,” defining their responsibility as optimizing “the technical system.” However,STS provides a toolkit for systematically blurring the boundaries of the box around the“technical system,” showing how considering historical, social, and political settings is essentialfor competent technical practice.This paper analyzes UC Berkeley’s

four of the 28 students who had different feelings towards persisting inengineering which resulted in varied trajectories. Interestingly, three of the four students (onecategorized as definitely persist and two as unsure) talked about money being a prime reason forpersisting in engineering. Two stand-out quotes include, “I know people say money can’t buyhappiness—give me a million dollars and watch the grin on my face,” and “Engineering paysbetter than Starbucks” [8, p. 230]. These statistics and quotes point out that an engineeringdegree does not guarantee that someone will pursue an engineering job and that external factorslike pay are on the mind. More general, recent statistics reported by Cheeseman Day andMartinez from the U.S. Census

AI, while a powerful tool, cannot think, innovate, or match the creativity of the human mind. It complements our work but cannot replace us.” 4. “To effectively leverage AI, engineers must fully grasp core concepts and fundamental principles. These are the skills that distinguish humans from machines, providing the intuition and logical framework needed to ”fact-check” the errors and inconsistencies that AI may generate.” 5. “I believe that you need a firm understanding of the core concepts
