that both male and female engineering studentspositively benefit from taking a sociotechnical course compared to a technical course across allthree categories, with a more pronounced influence on female students.1. Introduction and BackgroundEngineering education programs typically focus on developing students’ technical skills withless attention given to the societal, cultural, or political context in which complex engineeringproblem solving occurs [e.g., 1-5]. This is particularly prevalent during students’ second yearwhen coursework is mainly centered on decontextualized engineering science classes [6, 7]. Thislack of contextualization can make it difficult for students to connect what they are learning towhat they would do as a practicing

Therefore, students who hold one or more of thesemarginalized identities might find themselves excluded within their classrooms. However, even domestic students who do not hold traditionally marginalized identitiesmight find themselves struggling in engineering courses at the college level, and that can beattributed to the differences in schooling that such students experience before they get to thesame college classroom.

Elementary Engineering Workshop (Fundamental)AbstractIn the engineering education community, failure at the design stage has been promoted byresearchers and policy documents, generally in an effort to engage learners in authenticengineering practices. Less often in engineering education, failure has been discussed asproductive in its own right. One way failure may be beneficial is by encouraging students torevise and build on their ideas about why their designs are performing as they are. This connectsdirectly to decades-old constructivist ideas that learning occurs through constructing, testing, andrefining theories about how the world works.If students are indeed learning from failure, then we can expect to see
