” Militarization in Engineering •“Especially aerospace in particular… it's split between the people who don't want to work for a defense company… and [those who] want to blow up people in the desert”This masculine environment, along with her boss watching conservative politicalvideos, made Konkon feel unsafe and uncomfortable within this technical role. Thismasculinity was present in engineering spaces on campus as well. Interestingly,Konkon equated aspects of masculinity with militarization in engineering. Shecriticized many of the masculine “dude-bro[s]” in engineering as being excited towork for defense companies and wanting to “blow people up in the desert”.

existingschema to better fit incoming stimuli. The accommodation process represents a change in aperson’s thinking. S/he adjusts to new experiences or objects by revising an earlier method ofinformation processing. In other words, when there is a discrepancy between what a person expectsand what happens (a discrepancy between expectations and experiences), there is a temporarydisequilibration, followed by the process of accommodation. Engineers as problem solvers mustexpect to be disrupted or disequilibrated on a regular basis. They must be able to continually absorbthe new stimuli posed by the problems to be solved by recreating and adjusting their existingschema. We believe that engineering education therefore must include training that
developed by Cabrera and Cabrera [39] because their framework helpsdevelop a mental model needed to practice systems thinking [36]. Further, their framework haspreviously been used in educational contexts and is universally applicable to individuals withvarying disciplinary backgrounds [36]. Cabrera and Cabrera [39] defined systems thinking as afour-part cognitive skill consisting of tenets like making distinctions (D), organizing the system(S) into parts and wholes, recognizing relationships (R) between parts and wholes of the system,and taking multiple perspectives (P). Taken together, this four-part skill helps develop a holisticapproach to designing a solution to a problem.In the context of threat modeling, the systems thinking approach
