In educational institutions where researchand the development of engineering research scholars is a priority, the “how” of engineeringeducation can become a source of great debate.

The work by Pedretti and Nazir provides a strongtheoretical framework that has significantly influenced this research study.The Application/Design Current focuses on solving problems through the design of newtechnology or the modification of existing technology, and is a strong fit for engineeringprograms, given the emphasis on engineering design in the undergraduate curriculum. ThisCurrent focuses on problem-solving skills, experiments, design-build activities and other creativeapproaches. A criticism of the Application/Design Current is that it suggests we assume thatthere is always a need for a technology; where some problems are not best addressed by atechnological fix.

Further, intentionally incorporatingthese exercises into the course design communicates to students a strong desire to create aninclusive learning environment.

As aresult, students’ learning experiences are like a hodgepodge, lacking effectiveinterdisciplinary learning.

Similar tensions were observed in work practices of lab B where asking for help orguidance did not necessarily translate into lab members perceiving their work as interdependentespecially in ways that would elicit certain expectations from each other. A graduate student whowas new in the lab commented on asking other people for help: "Because I am less experiencedin the code... I could go to my advisor or someone that worked with a similar code earlier... If Imentioned my problem, they could say, ‘I did do that earlier and I can help you with that.’" Butwhile discussing

). For Gee,discourse becomes a kind of tool to fashion a social identity. Like Fairclough’s account, it is bothlanguage used and social practice, but the focus is less on the interplay of discourse andindividual on a macro scale and more on individuals themselves. It shifts from a sociologicalaccount to a psychological one [10]. Thus, we see resonance with this theoretical understandingof discourse and our methodological approach, wherein we seek to understand how engineeringstudents use text (in the form of EDMAIC assignments) to position themselves as not simplyengineers but empathetic individuals as well.Empathy. Empathy is an important ability and skill, especially with the continued emphasis onhuman-centered design and social justice

While natural processes act without political/social intent, people practice science within a social context that is immersed in cultures infused with political and social power differentials. The questions asked, priorities assigned, interpretation of data, and presentation of results are all deeply subjective. Conversely, SE respects and values varied ways of knowing and, therefore, the sharing of power over what and how engineers should research, design, and implement. ● Meritocratic: Meritocracy is the false assumption that the system as it currently exists is fair and just.

What we came up with was a surprisingly discrete model of facultyprofessional development for our department, whose faculty identifies primarily as scholars in a)engineering and design education or b) the social sciences. This model extends from the team-teaching efforts described above but goes further to require instructional teams to define“integrated lessons” building upon each of their mutual disciplinary instructional traditions.Our proposed instructional
