SJ concerns [3], we work with more technocratically oriented STEM majors. For thisreason, we decided to start our research by inquiring into perceptions that students have aboutcontextualized and decontextualized problems (Con/Decon), and what resources they would useto try to write contexts, in order to understand how we might successfully coach them to come upwith context on their own.Evidence suggests that the invisibility of SJ concerns in engineering curricula factors into a“culture of disengagement” [2], [5], [7]. This scholarship posits that the divide between technicalknowledge and social concerns in engineering curricula impacts undergraduate engineeringmajor retention -- since students who are more driven by social/humanitarian

Systems Engineering to strengthen classroom instruction andstudent engagement.BackgroundThough there has been significant research on learning styles or models, to include researcherssuch as Mantle, Elrick, and Felder and Silverman, there is conflicting discussion whether there isa need to match individual student learning styles with content delivery. Specifically, research onthe effectiveness of hands-on exercises shows some positive correlation between studentexperience. [3] [4]Prince identified the need to be careful in assessing “what works” and that it requires looking at abroad range of learning outcomes, interpreting data carefully, quantifying the magnitude of anyreported improvement and having some idea of what constitutes a

Given this, andgiven the potential that online technologies provide for interaction and collaboration, a number ofresearchers have, over the last several years, explored ways to exploit such technologies to effectcollaborative learning. These researchers have developed a number of tools and techniques, someof which we will briefly review later in the paper, and demonstrated their use in a variety of disci-plines and settings ranging from K-12 through college programs

In part this isdue to ABET’s requirement of a culminating design experience following the shift to EC-2000about two decades ago [3]. The resurgence of design is also due to: a recognition that designcourses can address a broad range of transferable skills thought important for graduates [4],design and problem solving align with the epistemological stance of engineers [5], the
