From a single class in Fall2016 (Basic CAD, taken in first semester of Freshman year), the project has grown to encompassfour additional classes, which are discussed later and span first- through third-year courses. Inaddition, technical writing instructors have been involved in coaching Capstone students in their 1fourth year.

in this article.Dr. Marie Stettler Kleine’s research on humanitarian and integrated engineering programsinspired her reflection on how different forms of contextualization and the vocabulary used todescribe them signal different ways to best teach engineers. Her graduate training in science andtechnology studies and human-centered design prepared her to see that these forms ofcontextualization are much more nuanced than using particular language, but this varyinglanguage fundamentally changes the engineering pedagogy in practice. She continues tointerrogate why and how engineering educators learn from other disciplines to explicitlyprioritize contextualization.For Dr. Kari Zacharias, this project has been an opportunity to reflect on the

What-if questions at each stage of the design process should prompt studentsto reflect. This would be appropriate as part of a cornerstone or capstone design project. Theproposed questions could be tailored to specific student projects.In your design project journal, address the following questions: 1. Consider one of the conceptual design alternatives that you chose not to pursue. What are three strengths of this conceptual design? 2.

Engineering education has made strides towards integrating social context intoengineering problems. Real-world problems are one way educators have sought to contextualizetechnical problems; however, these problems are usually in capstone or design courses thatstudents take later in their engineering coursework. Instead, students learn technical skills asabstracted from
