this perspective comes from social studyresearch that working with real-world and narrative problems might help these students toembrace better their identity as engineers.To facilitate such collaboration, we (three faculty members from engineering and socialsciences) will teach concurrent courses for students in our disciplines, and bring our studentstogether during the semester to interact and collaborate. Each team of 4 students will beassigned a case study to discuss, collect data on, and analyze by conducting what-if analysis.Since our engineering course will be an elective course, it may attract predominantly URM andwomen students because of this case-study focus. Our desire to incorporate state-of-the-art toolsmay also facilitate the
