which their design takes place and consider different sociotechnical possibilities(Cech, 2013; Riley 2008). They must engage in expansive thinking, which entails breaking freefrom “status quo narratives and attend[ing] to science and technology from a human-centered,systems-level perspective” (Radoff et al, 2022, p. 2). This breaking free requires engineeringstudents to rethink what socio-political and economic values and perspectives are being includedin engineering from the standpoint of social justice and equity. For students, opportunities toquestion dominant narratives and values prevalent in engineering design can prompt acutefeelings of uncertainty around the process and outcomes of engineering work (Baillie &Armstrong, 2013).In our

The National Academy of Engineering(NAE) has highlighted the importance of community colleges in broadening participation inengineering because of the diversity they represent [1] [2].
