Lastly, student agency has been defined as “the waysstudents develop personally through engagement with knowledge” [24]. This characterization ofstudent agency is similar to Svihla et al. [21]. Both studies focused on students developing agencyas an integral piece for navigating pathways into their career as an engineer.Along with varying theoretical underpinnings of agential frameworks, multiple approaches wereused to investigate student learning, such as a multiple case study, narrative analysis, andphenomenography.

A predominant focus on technicalaspects in teaching and learning engineering [2], [17], combined with cultural stereotypes of whocan become an engineer, leave many at the margins of solutions rather than at the center of them[18], [19]. Less attention has been given to incorporating into the curriculum the myriad ofsocietal factors that influence engineering processes and products.
