relatedframeworks. We must be mindful of some of the key epistemological and ontological traditionsin science education, which traditionally tends to prioritize the acquisition of knowledge, ratherthan the context within which it operates (Bencze et al, 2020). There is a similar phenomenon atplay in engineering, which will create challenges for the inclusion of STSE. However, the majorglobal issues we face require an expansion of what we count as knowledge, so that itencompasses the relational, holistic and interdisciplinary (Rennie, Venville & Wallace, 2012).Furthermore, we would be best served by moving away from the false dichotomy of content andcontextual knowledge; as Blades notes in a discussion of STEM and Citizenship (2015), tounderstand

added to thefifth and eighth-grade state assessments which will also be discussed in this paper. Additionally,examples of supplemental resources created to assist educators and school districts in aligningwith these standards will be presented. This paper may assist other states with updating ordeveloping P-12 T&E education standards. BackgroundTechnology and engineering (T&E) education has historically been rooted in hands-on, minds-onlearning. Over more than 100 years the field has evolved from manual arts, to industrial arts, toindustrial technology education, to technology education, to T&E education, and more recentlyfocused on the integrative aspect of the T&E within STEM education

value to people’s bodies and minds based on societally constructed ideas ofnormalcy, productivity, desirability, intelligence, excellence, and fitness…. You do not have tobe disabled to experience ableism” [61]. Ableism manifests in narratives of smartness andintellectual superiority in engineering by identifying which minds and bodies are privileged anduplifted in engineering: minds and bodies that “maximize outcomes while minimizing effort”and demonstrate technical superiority are privileged due to meritocratic ideologies [31], [62, p.575]. Through the model minority stereotype, smartness is used to racialize Asian(Americans) asabnormally intelligent, ruthlessly efficient, antisocial, and incapable of working with others [5].When combined

is defined later in the game description.This game follows a simple game model of a basic structure which consists of three keyelements: a challenge, a response, and feedback. During game play, hazards will continue tostrike the community and lead to newly damaged components, which is a challenge. Throughoutthe game, each team responds to the challenges by making decisions regarding repairing andretrofitting electric system components all while keeping the previously outlined objectives inmind. With two objectives formulated specifically for equity, teams are forced to maintainequity-minded objectives (i.e., Objs. 2 and 3) along with system performance objectives (i.e.,Objs. 1, 4, and 5) to simulate realistic decision constraints engineers

Similarly, environmental engineering students need to: move towards systems-based solutions; become proactive in anticipating problems; and cultivate diversity and engagecollaboratively with stakeholders and other disciplines [25].

havingfewer resources offered by their parents to be successful in engineering [3]. However, this candrive the value they place on attaining an engineering career: “Students who pay their owncollege expenses may then be interested in having a future in engineering because they have ajob to pay their own way to attain their degree…” [3]. While these students may be moreopen-minded in the classroom, first-generation students require a higher sense of belonging tosucceed in college [3], potentially because they have no prior experience with or knowledge ofcollege. Stebleton et al. [18] also found a relationship between sense of belonging and levels ofdepression and stress for first-generation college students, reporting lower ratings ofbelongingness and
