the field of engineering.IntroductionCalls for enhancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pathways andexperiences have proliferated over the past two decades [1] – [3]. As careers and global jobmarkets continue to evolve and expand, so too does the need for more diverse perspectives andqualified individuals to engage in both new and existing engineering and technological roles [4].This need has led to an enhanced research effort in STEM engagement during younger years(e.g., elementary and middle school) to better understand how children’s early experiences withSTEM may influence their interest in various disciplines and educational or career pathways [5].This effort has been challenging, particularly for the field of

These two sections wererecently revised to include more sociotechnical readings, discussions, and homework facilitatedwith learning assistants. We are interested in understanding the self-described sense of belongingthat these students feel as they relate it to learning about engineering as a sociotechnical field.While the dualism between engineering's technical and social dimensions has been studied inASEE LEES papers, articles in Engineering Studies, broader engineering education research, andScience, Technology, and Science publications (e.g., Cech, 2013; Faulkner, 2007; Leydens &Lucena, 2017; Riley, 2017; Wisnioski, 2012), there is a need to

approach societal problems. TheNational Center for Engineering and Technology Education [34] defined EDP as an approachencompassing identification of a problem and developing a model that is refined through dataanalysis to produce a solution consisting of social and technological elements [35], [34].According to Katehi et al. [2], EDP is in essence, “the central activity of engineering” [2, pp. 56].Wulf [17] explained that engineers regularly tackle problems through consideration oflimitations and constraints (i.e., cost, time, materials, etc.) all the while still deriving solutionsthat cater to human wants and needs. Hence, EDP identifies a problem and works towards thedesign of a viable solution through an iterative set of practices [26

betterprepared for the challenges and obstacles a senior design capstone entails [2]. This idea is supported byTsenn et al., who explored how self-efficacy relies on motivation and outcome expectation and correlatedmotivation to the number of times students spent on the project [8]. Bracken et al. looked at the perceivedvalue of the project, relevance to engineering discipline and tasks, and the use of "cool" technologies asfactors that students considered in the project selection process. This point again touches on the idea thatby bringing together motivation and interest in the project, the learning experience, responsiveness tochallenges, and overcoming obstacles will improve throughout the project. Therefore, through these twomechanisms of interest

In the fall of 2016, ACCE started the compulsory implementation of its newly formulated and approved accreditation standards. The new standards represent a major shift from the older prescriptive version that focused on curriculum topical content (CTC) and counting the number of hours dedicated to different courses/topics. The new standards, following other accreditation norms and responding to public demands calling for more accountability, focus on learning outcomes achieved through the academic curriculum as evidenced by
