The course fuses engineering literacy with cognitive and affectiveknowledges and reflexivity and attempts to emulate Heywood’s ideal of “a liberal education thatenlarges the mind” rather than “the study of a range of disparate subjects that apparently have noconnection with one another” [5].This paper presents the author’s experience of incorporating historical, social, political, andeconomic lenses into the introductory engineering course by assigning team projects to addresschallenges of COVID-19 in refugee camps.The project assignment was intended to

I always thought why I would learn about what war was fought in what age and who did what when it has nothing to do with my life.The professional engineer went on to suggest, “You can make a difference if you tell itlike its story so that it sticks in your mind, and makes it interesting.” For many yearswhile serving as a history instructor at a community college I frequently heard similarstatements from the best students in STEM fields.STEMstoryEducation has undergone a revolution in a generation.

UnitedStates is better equipped than most other countries to combat these problems, it still is vulnerableas even its latest technologies cannot detect risks in all situations. It is with this in mind that amaster’s level academic program concentrating on Homeland Security and Safety Engineeringhas been developed.The primary challenge of this program is to incorporate an array of courses in engineering andtechnology that are complementary, comprehensive, and relevant. A combination of experiencedprofessionals from academics, public service, and private industries were brought together todevelop a curriculum that identifies the common fundamentals and practices defining boththe theory and effective practice of asset and people protection.

Wirelesslaptop technology was integrated throughout the course, appealing to engineers’ interestin and love of technology. To make the course even more attractive to engineers, it wasdesigned to satisfy the science, technology, and society (STS) requirement of curricula inthe College of Engineering.

integrated Engineers-Without-Borders(EWB) into its formal curriculum through its widely acclaimed Engineering Clinic sequence.Clinic is a required course (from the freshman through senior years) in which multidisciplinaryteams of students carry out independent research projects over the course of one or moresemesters. They are a vital part of the “hands-on, minds-on” curriculum where students applyengineering principles to projects sponsored by industry, government or individuals. EWBprojects present opportunities for students to apply engineering theory to real life problems thatare not only outside of the classroom, but also often outside of their country and culture.Properly addressing the problem required the students to appreciate the societal
