broad, science-based context. For example, the textbook beginswith the Big Bang, then spends three full chapters on the formation and evolution of theuniverse, the formation of our solar system and planet Earth, and the origin and evolution ofearly forms of life. The textbook will be extensively supplemented with additional material andguest lectures from various engineering faculty. In addition to engineering materials, broadtopics like power, water, and navigation will be considered. Student assessment will includedebates, group research projects, and oral presentations, as well as exams.Designed with engineering students in mind, the classes seek to establish patterns of thinkingaround complex issues and to provide meaningful case studies

schools’faculty and programs. Through KEEN support, engineering schools have had the opportunity tomake investments in faculty, staff and students to transform engineering education with theultimate goal of empowering the engineers of the future to create jobs and make the world abetter place.2-6 This goal is captured in the mission of KEEN which is, “to graduate engineerswith an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal valuethrough a lifetime of meaningful work.”4KEEN champions novel pedagogy in engineering such as Active Collaborative Learning (ACL),Project/Problem based Learning (PBL) and Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML). ACL andPBL are not new to engineering education, but EML is.2, 3, 7-10 EML is a student

the high degree of connectivity between materials and the processes that create andshape them into the products we used in every-day life. This grounding in real world applicationscan be used to show the value of materials science to those experiencing it for the first time,assisting educators in increasing the field’s interest. The records and associated properties werechosen with a high school audience in mind; all are common in everyday life so personalconnections can be readily made. This commonality could make this tool useful for a basicintroductory engineering course as well, particularly a broad discipline overview or freshmancornerstone course.

semester that integrated social context into a technically focused course. Thiscourse, a third-year Engineering Materials Science course taught by the second author, is arequired course for Integrated Engineering and an elective for Mechanical and Industrial andSystems Engineering students. This course was designed to introduce engineering students to thefundamentals of materials science engineering. Modules were accompanied by homework andexam questions to reinforce the relevance of these topics to the overall class. Incorporating socialcontent into engineering courses requires an intentional, sustained, and consistent approach thatbears in mind student’s limited time, conflicting priorities, and level of maturity.Of the four modules, two have

aresimplistic and don’t require more formal training [14]. Contrastingly, we took the approach thatit is critical for scientists to be thoughtful and intentional throughout the developing and planningprocess with all the stakeholders. Outreach training focused on the mindfulness awarenessproject goals, the cultivation of community partnerships, and engagement of a non-technicalaudience in a science or engineering topic. After several initial informal education workshops,the students were given the opportunity to tailor their outreach projects to align best with theirpersonal interests, given the following broad topics: 1) Deliver a talk to high school studentsabout their undergraduate experience as a science or engineering major, 2) Write a draft
