By using an Utilitarianistic point of view, it was the rational decision. • I learned that I have more of an engineering mind than a political mind.

However, they have become as common asslide rules in the 1960’s or hand calculators for the last four decades. There is now hardly anengineer without a smart phone. The question becomes, why is engineering education not usingsmart phones and tables (mobile devices) for complex engineering analysis? Two main concernscome to mind immediately, their screen sizes are small when compared to traditional desktop orlaptop computers, and they are relatively slow (but still faster than desktop computers in the1980’s).

The content of this new course would be gearedtoward introducing the practice of Engineering and the delivery method would be designed tomesh well with the learning style and behaviors of the new generation of freshmen.

Future engineersmust consider the people that engineering (technology) will affect and must gain competency inworking both alone and with others. To accomplish this goal, instructors should try to create a“cooperative learning community,” with a variety of learning activities, and encourage studentsto relate engineering with non-engineering material and everyday life.

This role coincided with the initiation of his mindfulness and awareness practice, which ledto him actively seeking ‘contextual mentors’ to help navigate the systems. This approach ofintentionally seeking contextual mentorship has been ongoing for the last five years.

acknowledgesthat infrastructure design requires consideration of diverse settings and the needs of thecommunity as a whole rather than as a collection of individuals [32]. Too often, communityimpacts are only considered after the design has been developed according to the technicalcriteria. Through the use of CCD, the design can be developed from the start with both technicaland human criteria in mind. CCD emphasizes that both asking multiple community stakeholderswhat they need and observing how they interact with the system in question may be a better wayto ensure the community feels heard and the engineer understands where improvements can bemade to better fit the way people use a system [32].Another approach to addressing sociotechnical problems such

This resulted in individualpositionality assignments that were honest, and at times deeply reflective, with studentexperiences and realizations.LimitationsAlthough this exercise shows promise for increasing the engineer’s understanding ofpositionality, it is not sufficient in developing contextually minded engineers.

From the industrial to the everyday settings, engineers play aninfluential role in how the tools, objects, and systems we interact with daily are designed. Yet,during their engineering education, quite often students experience a disconnection between thesocio-technical aspects of engineering design and the more technical courses in their curriculum,which can lead students to favor a view of engineering as a neutral discipline and put lessimportance on the human-centered aspects of design (Loweth et al., 2021; Miska et al., 2022).

Yet, not wanting to embody the problematic stereotype of the engineer as a top-downplanner and solver of people’s problems, she set on the quest to understand how to“decolonize my mind as Shrestha proposes in her paper [30]. That is the ability to humblemyself and come from a mindset of collaboration rather than omnipotence like many of ourpredecessors.” Also, drawing on STS histories of engineers doing community development inthe 1960s [31], she “liked the idea of Volunteers in Technical Assistance (VITA) having no ColdWar political agenda when they distributed tools and applications of engineering techniques toaid communities who reached out to them.
