engineered, who isengineering, and how engineering is enacted from social and political considerations and context(Cech, & Sherick, 2015; Holly, Jr., 2021). Introducing students to engineering aligned with anideology that decontextualizes and separates the social from the technical makes studentsconceptualize the social as an afterthought or, worse, unnecessary (Erickson et al., 2020).Attempts at sociotechnical integration in engineering education are certainly not new. Neeley etal. (2019) used a text mining approach to chart the history of attempts at applying STS toengineering education, which often is enacted by adopting a sociotechnical approach toengineering education in the ASEE PEER repository. They found that while between 1996 -1999

1 Story-driven Learning in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review Abstract Stories have been a pervasive, ubiquitous feature of our lives throughout humanhistory—indeed, storytelling itself is robustly associated with a host of positive benefits,including better mental health (Robertson et al., 2019), increased empathy (Cummings et al.,2022), and a greater sense of belonging (Ritter et al., 2019). As such, storytelling has thepotential to be a powerful tool in a range of settings, including higher education (i.e., story-driven learning). To uncover how story-driven learning has been used in higher education sofar—as well as to discover patterns in pedagogical methods and

attempting toimplement such assessments in their own contexts.IntroductionSTEM education plays a critical role in maintaining the nation’s position as a global leader intechnological innovation. Such innovation is necessary for addressing increasingly complexissues such as global warming and cybersecurity and requires a national workforce that consistsof diverse perspectives. Yet, extant cultures within the institutions that educate and train the nextgenerations of STEM professionals tend to privilege long-held majority perspectives of knowing,thinking, and doing in science and engineering. Such cultures are perpetuated through courseassessments, which students use to define and make meaning of their major (Stevens et al., 2014;Yoon et al., 2019

FEIAP (2019) stipulates that “Engineering practice must consider economic, public health,safety, legal, social, environment and sustainability factors” (p. 2). Similarly, ENAEE (2021)states that Bachelor Degree Graduates must demonstrate an “awareness of the widermultidisciplinary context of engineering,” an “awareness of non-technical - societal, health andsafety, environmental, economic and industrial - implications of engineering practice (p. 11) the“ability [...] to recognise the importance of non-technical [...] constraints” (p. 9), and the “abilityto develop and design complex products (devices, artifacts, etc.), processes and
