, and diverse minds” (Holmes, 2018, p. 140).Learning how to design solutions to real-world problems is one of the cornerstones of anengineering student’s formation. From the industrial to the everyday settings, engineers play aninfluential role in how the tools, objects, and systems we interact with daily are designed. Yet,during their engineering education, quite often students experience a disconnection between thesocio-technical aspects of engineering design and the more technical courses in their curriculum,which can lead students to favor a view of engineering as a neutral discipline and put lessimportance on the human-centered aspects of design (Loweth et al., 2021; Miska et al., 2022).

. Sketch-noting is a closely related art form that also combines visual andverbal elements. Sketch notes often make use of simple illustrations in conjunction with simplewords, making them easy to create. The downside is that sketch notes lack the storytelling aspectof comics, making them less ideal for communicating ideas to people not involved in the creationprocess. Inspired by the art of comics and sketch-noting, we have developed the Visual VerbalIntegrated (VIVID) Storytelling pedagogy for engineering education. VIVID Storytelling makesuse of simple visuals and simple words in line with sketch-noting but adds a strong narrativeelement in the fashion of comics (Zhuang et. al, 2022).In the context of engineering education, we have applied
