. Then, by having the instructor share her own identity map, includingprivileges and oppressions associated, students were invited to consider the impacts within herlife and her engineering work before exploring their own. This resulted in individualpositionality assignments that were honest, and at times deeply reflective, with studentexperiences and realizations.LimitationsAlthough this exercise shows promise for increasing the engineer’s understanding ofpositionality, it is not sufficient in developing contextually minded engineers. There are multiplelimitations to this activity, as it is just that – a singular activity.

, and diverse minds” (Holmes, 2018, p. 140).Learning how to design solutions to real-world problems is one of the cornerstones of anengineering student’s formation. From the industrial to the everyday settings, engineers play aninfluential role in how the tools, objects, and systems we interact with daily are designed. Yet,during their engineering education, quite often students experience a disconnection between thesocio-technical aspects of engineering design and the more technical courses in their curriculum,which can lead students to favor a view of engineering as a neutral discipline and put lessimportance on the human-centered aspects of design (Loweth et al., 2021; Miska et al., 2022).
