engineering is practiced [1]. This realization has led toa growing body of work documenting efforts towards the contextualization of engineeringeducation [3], [4]. Much of the literature tying engineering education to human or societal context stemsfrom the field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) and Engineering Studies. Fundamentalto STS is the tenant that science and technology are not objective and isolated; rather the creationof new knowledge and technology are influenced by society, politics, and culture, and thesetechnologies in turn will have impacts on society [5]. Over time, this area of work has led toresearch that examines how integrating socio-technical thinking in the engineering classroom candevelop more holistic

The methods bywhich engineering educators prepare future engineers to solve problems and communicatesolutions vary widely, but often fall back on the traditional lecture-based techniques which havedominated higher education for most of the 20th and 21st centuries. To engage students,fundamentals must be tied to engineering practice, through practice-oriented examples, andthrough relevant hands-on activities. Developing a practical engineering perspective throughrelevant engineering activities can help in building strong engineering fundamentals
