Regents of the University of Michigan was awarded a $375,029 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop sociotechnical modules integrating social issues into introductory electrical engineering circuits courses. The University will create four modules linking technical circuits topics to societal themes like conflict minerals in electronics and battery reuse. A cohort of graduate students will assist in backwards design of module learning objectives, activities, and assessments. The modules will be pre-piloted at the University of San Diego and piloted at the University of Michigan, then implemented in large circuits courses at five institutions, impacting over 900 students. Assessment will evaluate modules' effectiveness at reinforcing technical content and promoting social responsibility while disrupting adherence to normative beliefs. This project aims to enhance engineering education and better prepare nearly 1,000 students for an increasingly complex, global profession.
