Thestudents were challenged to make connections between their hands-on experiences and the largerhistorical and geographic contexts. In other words, interdisciplinary, experiential learning wasapplied not to the technical component of engineering education, but to the societal contextcomponent. The preliminary results were encouraging.

Ilearned that positivism was a straw man; that “rational technicism” signalled instrumental ratherthan transformative intentions; that leadership marked privileged status for the promotion ofmale teachers in a feminized profession [1-5]; and that private research funding was ethicallyquestionable. From one month to the next, I entered a field where positivism was alive and well;rationality and “technical” work were the gold standards, leadership was marked by an invertedsocial hierarchy promoting women “up and out,”[6]; and industry partners functioned as a keysource of research funding.

When it comes to the labs, it is up to the instructor tocreate whatever project he/she would like to do, with the only stipulation that the project mustbe able to have concepts from multiple engineering disciplines. This leads to a large variety ofexperiences between classes, with semester long projects such as Facial Recognition, BiofuelSynthesis from Restaurant Oil, Coffee Maker Design Analysis, Flood Mitigation Simulations,and Wind Turbine Design [1]. A common problem arising from this style of collaborativeproject work is that students who are enrolled in an engineering discipline not directly relatedto the project (i.e. “Out-of-Discipline”) tend to lose interest and in turn not gain as muchexperience as those who feel they would use
