Consequently, the teaching team provided students with a brief guide reviewinghow to search library databases and find relevant literature.After first-round submissions had been turned in, students were tasked with writing peer reviewsof the submissions of other teams. Several reasons were given to them for this, including theopportunity to see more examples of bias and a variety of ways of presenting information, aswell as practice with providing helpful feedback to others.

Our team has been engaged in the iterative redesign of a pedagogy seminar for engineering peer educators working within a college-level introduction to engineering design course. Using tools of discourse analysis, we analyze how technocratic stances are reproduced or challenged in engineering peer educators’ talk during pedagogy seminar discussions. We study peer educators, in particular, because they are in a unique position to do harm if the ideologies of meritocracy and technocracy aren't challenged. Likewise, they are in a unique position to do good if they actively disrupt these ideologies in

Furthermore, we believe that, for an engineeringcourse, the way it was created and conducted is unusual. The course required a significantamount of reading, writing, and discussions, and because the course instructor, who had littleprior expertise in the philosophical aspects of the course, considered himself a co-learner withthe students.
