, why he wanted to be a BME major, and how he now believed he had amisconception of BME: They have a biochemistry degree at the school I'm at. I'm in biomedical engineering and I guess when I got into it I thought it was more like that laboratory track where you work under somebody helping them do their research or whatever. But I think now that I've seen about half of it, I can tell its hardcore engineering which I was not expecting it to be. (Derek)Derek now faced the conflict of having an ideal future possible career that was no longerconnected to his present tasks.

failure to switch from a PhD to a master's. That was the second time I went to counseling. I was just kind of working through those feelings of failure, even though it was an active decision.All the participants expressed that they found the utilization of counseling to be helpful. Becky,for example, described how going to counseling in response to the anxiety attacks she hadexperienced in her research laboratory, gave her useful tools. She shared, I did feel as though I was able to get good insights. He showed me how to like if I had another anxiety attack, breathing mechanisms that I could do to kind of stimulate my parasympathetic system and slow my heart rate and stuff like that, calm my system down.Erin

(SSI) have received increased attention from many science andengineering educators, as it provides a meaningful learning opportunity to improve students'argumentation skills [4] - [7]. In the SSI environment, students can formulate positions, negotiatediverse ideas, and make decisions about important issues directly related to their everyday life [8].The problems in SSI contexts are “more open-ended, debatable, complex, or ill-structured” [9,p.140] than the general scientific hypothesis in the laboratory. In this kind of environment, studentsare required to apply their epistemic understanding of argument (i.e., what counts as good evidence,what counts as a good claim) to debate, reach a consensus, or make decisions [10] - [12].Sadler [6

RESEARCH SITE: THE STANFORD PRL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICEThis study is conducted in a learning laboratory, makerspace, and associated MCoP at StanfordUniversity: the Product Realization Lab (PRL). The PRL is both a physical space and socialcommunity. It is over 9,000ft2 of tools and materials (e.g. woodshop, machine shop, rapidprototyping, foundry) and a community of over 1,000 practicing designers and makers (e.g.students, instructors, industry experts) who are active in the PRL each year. It is a place whereideas and designs are realized; prototyping and iteration are celebrated [23]; self-efficacy is built[13,14] and

It is impossible to achieve sociotechnical integration without an understanding of the socio-cultural context of the problem. § Generally relies on open-ended problems, allowing students to experience tradeoffs in engineering processes.It is important to note that we are speaking of implementation of real-world examples intoengineering curricula and recognize that some classes may be taught in formats other than alecture-based course. Some examples of this could be inverted or flipped classes, active learning,laboratory courses, project-based courses, or discussion-based courses. While classroomimplementation may vary, the use of real-world examples as
