internalized and uncritically accepted as the norm. One concreteexample of this problem emerged in the design of this computer laboratory.The focus and the contributionThis paper is focused on the design of a new computer laboratory to serve dual functions as: (1) asoftware teaching space, and (2) a student workspace during non-teaching times. In this paper,the author is situating the lab space design in larger questions of the interplay of power with theproduction and transmission of knowledge [35], as it manifests in the physical space. The designprocess was a collaborative undertaking by the author and her colleague Chad Korach, whereasthe theoretical analysis is solely by the author. The use of the subject “we” should be interpretedaccordingly in

2020 ASEE Annual Conference Teaching STS to Engineers: A Comparative Study of Embedded STS Programs Dr. Bryn E. Seabrook, Dr. Kathryn A. Neeley/ Dr. Kari Zacharias, and Dr. Brandiff Caron University of Virginia/Concordia UniversityAbstract The field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) draws from a full range ofdisciplines in the social sciences and humanities to examine how science and technologysimultaneously shape and are shaped by society, including politics and culture. Althoughengineering educators and employers have recognized the importance of professional(nontechnical) skills for over 100 years, the instructional strategies and

demarcated, which makes contextual conditions important tothe analysis [8]. A case study methodology is not bound by any specific type of data but, more sothan other methodologies (e.g. historical, laboratory, etc.), requires the convergence of differenttypes of data sources for strengthening the validity and accuracy of the findings [8]. This meansthat case study research often requires multiple research methods for collecting data. One way that validity can be constructed in case study research is through the process ofcomparing and converging multiple sources of evidence, otherwise known as “triangulation” [8].For the case of Julie’s teaching and coaching, data included field notes, audio and visual materi-als (i.e. digital audio

complexglobal challenges, the need for engineers with inclusive mindsets has become more apparent.One aspect of inclusion is the awareness of our potential for biases in the models we create of theworld -- engineering models that go on to influence the technologies we produce.This paper presents a work-in-progress case study of an intervention in a middle-years analyticalcourse with a heavy focus on mathematical modeling. The intervention is designed to makestudents aware of biases in model base learning, their own tendencies towards these kinds ofbiases, and the sorts of impacts these biases can have on real populations. An importantcomponent of the intervention is that it is embedded into the teaching of analytical content, ratherthan being an
