interplay between social and technical considerations(Leydens & Lucena, 2017), but they have few opportunities to develop these sociotechnical waysof thinking (i.e., values, attitudes, and skills that integrate the social and technical). Instead,students are left to infer engineering as technically neutral through the instructional decisionsthat make up an engineering curriculum (Cech, 2013; Trevelan, 2014).In this study, we focus on how students understand the role of sociotechnical thinking inengineering. Particularly, this study centers seven minoritized students in an introductoryengineering computation class who are pursuing an engineering degree. The study takes place ata medium private university in New England. These seven students are

CompetencyAbstractComputing systems face diverse and substantial cybersecurity threats. To mitigate thesecybersecurity threats while developing software, engineers need to be competent in the skill ofthreat modeling. In industry and academia, there are many frameworks for teaching threatmodeling, but our analysis of these frameworks suggests that (1) these approaches tend to befocused on component-level analysis rather than educating students to reason holistically about asystem’s cybersecurity, and (2) there is no rubric for assessing a student’s threat modelingcompetency. To address these concerns, we propose using systems thinking in conjunction withpopular and industry-standard threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE for teaching andassessing threat modeling

CurriculumAbstractAs demand rises for circuits with higher performance, higher complexity, and decreased featuresize, asynchronous (clockless) paradigms will become more widely used in the semiconductorindustry, as evidenced by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors’ (ITRS)prediction of a likely shift from synchronous to asynchronous design styles in order to increasecircuit robustness, decrease power, and alleviate many clock-related issues 1. ITRS predicts thatasynchronous circuits will account for 19% of chip area within the next 5 years, and 30% of chiparea within the next 10 years 2. To meet this growing industry need, students in ComputerEngineering should be introduced to asynchronous circuit design to make them more marketableand more

Online learning has numerous benefits, including the convenience and flexibility itprovides. However, it has also raised concerns about the disparities faced by minority studentswho lack access to technology, experience social isolation, face technical difficulties, and lackadequate support. These inequalities have been an ongoing issue for over two decades and havebeen further exacerbated by the shift to emergency online learning brought on by the COVID-19pandemic.
