. Most of thesepapers describe a specific course, project, program, or teaching tool, without making ageneralized claim about STS or engineering education.Authorship trends may reflect the common understanding of STS that is present in the appliedSTS papers and absent in many of the other papers (Table 2). Half of both groups’ papers werewritten by teams of authors from different disciplines, such as engineering, STS, social sciences,and education. A third of the applied STS papers were written by STS scholars, while a third ofthe other papers were written by engineers. This discrepancy may explain why the applied STSpapers share a worldview that the other papers do not. However, it does not mean that engineerslack an understanding or
