, 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). Inturn, when applying their knowledge to create a

broadnature of engineering (e.g., [36],[44],[46],[47]). With this in mind, the male students in our studywho took more than one sociotechnical course may have gained a better understanding of thebroader aspects of engineering, helping them to obtain a more holistic view of engineering,which leads to an increase in their sense of belonging in engineering. However, among femalestudents in our study, sense of belonging in engineering was not influenced as much by theirunderstanding of the broad nature of the field. This finding is surprising given that otherresearchers have determined that female students tend to place more importance on the socialand contextual aspects of engineering than their male peers [21]-[23],[50]. Thus, we wouldexpect that as

In a similar vein, Jonathan Haidt in TheRighteous Mind: Why Good People Divided by Politics and Religion (2013) presents a socialintuitionist model of persuasion that explicates the underlying processes by which socialinteraction “sometimes leads people to change their minds” (p. 55). Together with rhetoricaltheory, social psychology provides us with available resources for persuasion that could be
