Those that graduate with adegree in engineering technology need to understand the impacts of codes, standards andregulations within their particular industry. By having undergraduates participate in the research,application, and evaluation of these standards, undergraduates will be better prepared to enter theworkforce and provide valuable insight to their employers.

As a collaborative project, we hosted multiple events for relevant parties (includingK-12 educators and administrators, higher education faculty, industry professionals, state anddistrict CS supervisors, and CS education researchers).

introduceengineering students to the fundamental concepts of design and data science. This work offersa pedagogical resource that shows best practices for integrating the technical and socialdualism in engineering education. We contend that without this sociotechnical integration inengineering courses, engineering education will leave students to reinforce existing racial andenvironmental injustices rather than providing a critical understanding of the social, political, andeconomic context in which they will be engineers. While, no course is ever perfect and it isdifficult to include all the important concepts relevant to a course without overwhelming thestudents, we hope that asking for whom, with whom, and as whom provide an initiation forstudents to
