engineered, who isengineering, and how engineering is enacted from social and political considerations and context(Cech, & Sherick, 2015; Holly, Jr., 2021). Introducing students to engineering aligned with anideology that decontextualizes and separates the social from the technical makes studentsconceptualize the social as an afterthought or, worse, unnecessary (Erickson et al., 2020).Attempts at sociotechnical integration in engineering education are certainly not new. Neeley etal. (2019) used a text mining approach to chart the history of attempts at applying STS toengineering education, which often is enacted by adopting a sociotechnical approach toengineering education in the ASEE PEER repository. They found that while between 1996 -1999

by Recognizing the Framing Power of Implicit Messages Kathryn A. Neeley University of VirginiaI. IntroductionSince the founding of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commission in 2011, interest andactivity in diversity have grown in ASEE, culminating with the establishment of the Year ofImpact on Racial Equity (2021-2022) and the formation of the Equity, Culture, and Social JusticeDivision in 2020. These initiatives were preceded by several ASEE programmatic effortsincluding the Year of Action on Diversity (2014-2015), the Best Diversity Paper Award (2015),the Deans Diversity Pledge (2017), the Diversity Recognition Program (2019), and the

Researchers have gone a step furtherin considering what the transition looks like for engineers as they move from a senior student toan entry level worker in the engineering field. Ford et al. (2019) provides a better understandingof the experiences that engineering students face in the introduction phase to the work phase bycharacterizing how and to what extent the design capstone course prepares students forengineering workplaces [12].

For the final version after year two of thestudy, we expect to engage much more deeply with the broader literature on the subject.

more authentic moral commitment than chicanery. Moreover, the strictmetrics for accomplishing good made clear sense of MacAskill’s claims that EA has alwaysrecruited most successfully in STEM fields [2], appealing to a small subset of philanthropicquants that he affectionately but self-consciously labels “moral weirdos” [3]. EA amounts to acutting-edge version of utilitarianism’s traditional appeal among those students. Nelson andPeterson’s 1982 title might overgeneralize—“If You’re an Engineer, You’re Probably aUtilitarian”—but it’s hard to argue with their assessment that the utilitarian’s methodical“quantification is attractive to engineers.” [4]For ASEE and LEES, that attraction is worth examining for several reasons. First, EA creates

One of its applications is a market-oriented approach where companies can becertified if they follow the responsible forest management standards and guidelinesestablished by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) [26]. The FSC is an international non-profit organization that advocates for sustainable forestry. FSC certifies companies as “foreststewards” [27] when they demonstrate zero deforestation, protection of animals and plants,fair compensation for workers, and respect for local communities’ rights.

Students in introductory engineering courses face challenges communicating and integrating their ideas in team projects. Often these challenges with team communication fall along gendered lines, where women students experience marginalization in team settings.
