U.S. are finally heading the many calls to include sociotechnicalthinking–grappling with issues of power, history, and culture–throughout the undergraduateengineering curriculum. While non-purely-technical topics have historically been relegated toseparate courses, universities are now working to integrate sociotechnical content in coursespreviously considered to be purely technical. Researchers have varying motivations for thisfocus, including to better prepare students for engineering practice, which is inherentlysociotechnical [1]; to increase the sense of belonging of historically excluded students, who aremore likely to be interested in the social aspects [2]; and to create better societal outcomes [3-5].Attempts to disrupt the social

Inthis meta-analysis, Gellin et al.

In contrast tomany other art/science courses, the artists do not contribute only art to their joint projects, nor do the engineerscontribute only technical assistance. Instead, the engineers are expected to be artists, with aesthetic control overtheir work, while both the art students and the engineers are expected to preserve the scientific utility of theirimages of fluid flow by providing accurate documentation of the flow and imaging process.
