This paper presents our findings to how students answered thefollowing questions related to our case study: “How do you practice being ethical as an engineerthrough language? What lessons can you learn from the Flint Water Crisis?” In the followingsection, we provide background information on the Flint Water Crisis that was embedded into thecourse content.Engineering is conceptualized in this study as a sociotechnical practice ( McGowan & Bell,2020). This perspective highlights how engineering work impacts and is influenced by society(Rodrigues and Cicek, 2024). According to Mazzurco and Daniel (2020), sociotechnical thinkinghas three domains: technology, people, and broader context. Within this framework

For example, designing water filtration systems allows students to apply scientificprinciples to tangible, problem-solving contexts. The National Academy of Engineering and theNational Research Council [4] emphasize EDP’s potential to improve problem-solving skills,deepen STEM understanding, and promote technological literacy through hands-on learning.In parallel, CRP provides a framework for engaging diverse learners by incorporating theircultural identities, experiences, and perspectives into instruction.
