also prepare students for engineering projects that transcend limitedcourse scopes. For example, electric circuits courses provide underlying conceptual andmathematical principles to model electronics. However, in practice, electrical projects can beinterdisciplinary and go beyond the basic models introduced in class. Additionally, it is difficultto combine multifaceted sociotechnical concepts into entry level circuits classes. One method fordeveloping course modules for electric circuits that explore technical content with a societalcontext is described by Lord, Przestrzelski and Reddy [1]. We offer a solution to better integrate the technical circuit concepts and societalprinciples in an undergraduate circuits course. Specifically, we

Peer Instruction is an instructional approach that fosters students’collaboration to increase conceptual understanding. Data was collected from three sectionsof the course mentioned above. In two sections, students attended a traditional class format(51 students) while another section (15 students) implemented the Peer Instructionmethodology. The research question driving this project was whether Peer Instructionwould produce significantly higher learning gains than the traditional blackboard and chalkapproach.
