engineered, who isengineering, and how engineering is enacted from social and political considerations and context(Cech, & Sherick, 2015; Holly, Jr., 2021). Introducing students to engineering aligned with anideology that decontextualizes and separates the social from the technical makes studentsconceptualize the social as an afterthought or, worse, unnecessary (Erickson et al., 2020).Attempts at sociotechnical integration in engineering education are certainly not new. Neeley etal. (2019) used a text mining approach to chart the history of attempts at applying STS toengineering education, which often is enacted by adopting a sociotechnical approach toengineering education in the ASEE PEER repository.

In 2019 and 2020, 254and 220 students respectively, were divided approximately evenly between 2 “streams” (thosethat have a first work term after 4 months, and those having a first work term after 8 months).Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all instruction for fall 2020 was done remotely with the majorityof students living at home (approximately 1/3 of students lived on campus in fall 2020).This paper focusses on two courses taught during the 1A term to mechatronics students that havelarge design components.

bachelor’s degrees in engineering has increased in the last decade;however, the growth has been slow, increasing from 17.8% in 2010 to 22.5% in 2019 [4].Additionally, the percentage of Blacks or African Americans earning bachelor’s degrees inengineering has remained around 4.2% since 2011. With women making up 50.8% of thepopulation and Blacks or African Americans making up 13.4% of the population [5], the severityof the underrepresentation is clear. Since it is not reasonable to expect to build demographicallydiverse teams, engineering educators must work to build capacity for diversity by cultivatinginclusive cultures and curricula [6], [7].Building inclusive classrooms is one component of building culture [8].

revising film series. Using results of customer interviews, surveys ofstudents who have viewed films, and film analytics, we have created four prototypes of the film series since Summerof 2019. After creating a minimum viable prototype of the film series, we tested the series invarious technical courses during the Fall 2019 semester. In these tests, students viewed the filmseries before a class period, responded to oral questions about the content of the film seriesduring the class, and then completed a short survey about the film series at the end of class. Thesurvey focused on biggest surprises of the film series and suggestions for making the film seriesmore effective. As a third means of developing our film series, we tracked the
