Interpreting large-scaleconcept maps is difficult however, due to the user’s cognitive limitations (Section 2.3). Thesecognitive limitations lead to problems learning with large-scale concept maps. The authors arecurrently exploring ways to mitigate the problems associated with interpreting large-scaleconcept maps using interactive digital technologies. Doing so will unlock the potential of large-scale concept maps as learning tools and enable the creation of concept maps that connectinformation throughout an entire engineering curriculum (Section 2.4

engineering is practiced [1]. This realization has led toa growing body of work documenting efforts towards the contextualization of engineeringeducation [3], [4]. Much of the literature tying engineering education to human or societal context stemsfrom the field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) and Engineering Studies. Fundamentalto STS is the tenant that science and technology are not objective and isolated; rather the creationof new knowledge and technology are influenced by society, politics, and culture, and thesetechnologies in turn will have impacts on society [5]. Over time, this area of work has led toresearch that examines how integrating socio-technical thinking in the engineering classroom candevelop more holistic

The capstone students are required to identify aneducational need within the mechanical engineering technology program. This need is discussedwith the faculty for the development of a hands-on laboratory instrument that will facilitatelearning in the program. The results from these discussions determine the design requirementsfor the capstone project. These capstone students must also learn the
