Developing a Socially-Aware Engineering Identity Through Transdisciplinary Learning. Gray, C. M & Fernandez, T. M In Proceedings of the Mudd Design Workshop X: Design and the Future of the Engineer of 2020, Claremont, CA, 2017. Harvey Mudd College. abstract bibtex In conjunction with the drive towards human-centered design in engineering education, questions arise regarding how students build and engage a socially-aware engineering identity. In this paper, we describe how students in a transdisciplinary undergraduate program struggle to engage with ontological and epistemological perspectives that draw on that social turn, particularly in relation to human-centered engineering approaches and sociotechnical complexity. We use a critical qualitative meaning reconstruction approach to deeply analyze the meaning-making assumptions of these students to reveal characteristic barriers in engaging with other subjectivities, and related epistemological and ontological claims implicit in these subjectivities. We conclude with implications for encouraging socially-aware identity formation in engineering education.
