Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) stresses the significance of incorporating criticalthinking instruction, along with other general engineering expertise (e.g., soft skills) inengineering curriculum through their published student outcomes (Claris and Riley, Email: mshokrolahshirazi@marian.edu2012). Since the connection between CT and problem-solving in engineering is a recurringtheme in the literature, teaching and learning critical thinking should equip differentlevels of problems with varied features that involve appropriate hypotheses, methodsfor experiments, and structuring open design problems (Ahern, Dominguez, McNally,O’Sullivan, and Pedrosa, 2019). On the other hand, the challenging level of the problems is another key

, many students often fail to connect their personal experience with technology (e.g.home appliances) with the engineering concepts (e.g. 1st law of thermodynamics) introduced inclass. We are exploring a reconceived approach for introducing students to these importantconcepts. The authors, with expertise in four different engineering disciplines, recognize thatmany discourses in engineering exist in tension with each other. The context in which we teachenergy is too often narrowly defined and framed by both hegemonic disciplinary literacies (i.e.,mechanical engineers tend to focus heavily on steam tables) and dominant cultural perspectives(i.e., White, male, colonial, and heteronormative). Our objective is to redefine the teaching andlearning of
