The prevailing perception of engineering tends to focussolely on technical aspects and lacks a human-centered and holistic approach [10]. The socio-technical nature of the 14 Grand Challenges identified by the U.S. National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) acknowledges the interconnectedness of technical systems and socialcontexts [11]. Research shows that embracing a broader perspective of engineering identityprovides a wider range of experiences that diverse individuals can relate to, fostering a sense ofinclusion and belonging among participants [12] [13].This paper documents our work of reimagining the undergraduate ECE
