. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023Exploring Undergraduate Engineering Students’ Understanding of PowerDynamicsIntroductionEngineering education in the United States has grappled with the issue of representation from itsinception, but in the last few decades, there has been a grand effort to improve diversity, equity,and inclusion in the field of engineering [1], in particular for minoritized students, or studentsfrom racial minority backgrounds. The goal of representation has been to have the demographicsof students in our field be representative of the demographics of our nation. Yet, even though wehave seen numbers fluctuate for different minoritized groups, either decreasing or slightlyincreasing, participation rates remain the

EWBprojects, with their explicit social justice mission, has already been shown to have a positive effecton students, attitudes towards community service, and career expectations [2–7]. Other work hasdocumented the effects of service learning participation on meeting ABET learning outcomes [6]and providing global engineering competencies [8, 9]. While the benefits of service learning forstudent education are enticing, there is also some evidence that participation in projects with localcommunities, in contrast to internationally-based field work, can achieve the same studentoutcomes in terms of technical and professional skills [10, 11].Integration of service learning into the curriculum also necessitates the consideration of impactson the

Some have theorized that creativity is equivalent to anintelligent quotient (IQ) but no successful tests have been developed to prove it. Lack of experience also haspsychological effects on the individual i.e., feelings of incompetence at a creative task (Deci 2005).

In the SSI environment, students can formulate positions, negotiatediverse ideas, and make decisions about important issues directly related to their everyday life [8].The problems in SSI contexts are “more open-ended, debatable, complex, or ill-structured” [9,p.140] than the general scientific hypothesis in the laboratory. In this kind of environment, studentsare required to apply their epistemic understanding of argument (i.e., what counts as good evidence,what counts as a good claim) to debate, reach a consensus, or make decisions [10] - [12].Sadler [6
