©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024Countering Passive Engagement: STS Postures and Analyzing Student Agency in Everyday EngineeringAbstract “A culture of disengagement” is what Erin Cech [1, see also 4,9] has named the phenomenonthat, within engineering schools, students graduate with less interest in societal issues than whenthey arrive. Much of this disengagement is attributed to mindsets ([2]: centrality of military andcorporate organizations, uncritical acceptance of authority, technical narrowness, positivism andthe myth of objectivity) and ideologies ([1]: technical-social dualism, depoliticization,meritocracy) that create a socio-technical divide that encourages many students to marginalizesocial issues related

: Engineering identity formation is not simply the result of technical knowledgeacquisition, but also that of enculturation. Both processes are intricately linked to the places (i.e.,physical infrastructures) in which they unfold such as laboratories, classrooms, communal areas,and other engineering spaces on a university campus. Places act as a conduit for engineeringenculturation, as it is within these settings that students are inundated with value-laden symbols& representations, participate in engineering activities and rituals, and are expected to adopt andembody dominant engineering mindsets and attitudes towards technical problem solving.Recognizing that the physical infrastructure of a place can serve as a tangible manifestation ofbroader

a greater degree)incorporate knowledge and skills that go beyond established disciplinary territories. Theseideals were reflected in the number of mandatory credits needed to complete for graduation,which included humanities and social sciences as core engineering subjects. Employingproject- and problem-based learning, students were encouraged to integrate design-thinkingand an entrepreneurial mindset. As noticed and emphasized (Bashir, Hahn, and Makela 2019) in the US context, Iwould like to point out that it is too important to emphasize to have like-minded communitiesof practice that support faculty-driven innovative teaching methods. At the departmental level,all departmental members including teaching and research faculty

Inaddition to highlighting the work they do or details about their organization, Category 2companies often identified specific characteristics for prospective employees such as forward-thinking, entrepreneurial mindset, specific majors, or types of prior experiences. 305 companies(~88%) fell into Category 1 and the remaining 42 companies (~12%) were in Category 2.The Overviews in each Category were then fully read and analyzed using a hybridinductive/deductive coding strategy. The five-theme model [7] discussed previously acted as thebase codes, but the coding framework was also expanded and revised as analysis progressed.

biomedicalengineering program found that story-driven learning assisted with the development of students’self-concept clarity (Morgan et al., 2021). Moreover, the course was designed to help targetanother intended outcome: entrepreneurial mindset (EM). EM not only regards the developmentof students’ engineering skill set, but to also automate the use of that skill set to create value forthemselves, others, and society as a whole. The entrepreneurial mindset involves the constantintention to create value, coupled with curiosity and a desire to make connections acrossseemingly unrelated information (Morgan et al., 2021). As such, EM cuts across both self-concept clarity and leadership outcomes to foster students’ holistic personal and
