• Notes from the DEED Program Chair:
DEED is willing to do a morning workshop slot, and we are willing to do a morning and afternoon workshop. This is 2 of 2 partnered proposals with **two different divisions**. This one is with the ETHICS division. We are submitting to offer both, with priority to proposal 1 of 2, if only one can be accepted.

Intended Audience
==================================
This workshop is designed for instructors teaching engineering design and engineering science courses who want to integrate design and leadership skills without a full syllabus redesign. This participatory, modular approach has been deployed successfully in design courses and core engineering science courses and at a variety of higher-education institutions, including large public universities, smaller regional institutions, and Hispanic-serving institutions, and much content is also appropriate for Grade 9-12 educators. The workshop will prepare instructors to strengthen students’ ability to link technical decision-making with ethics, stakeholder needs, and broader contextual factors throughout the engineering design process.

Collaboration
==================================
The Engineering Ethics Division (ETHICS) division has expressed interest in partnering with DEED on this workshop (We have Program Chair concurrence, they are confirming with the remainder of the board).

Workshop Description
==================================
Engineering demands solutions that are not only technically robust but also responsive to stakeholder priorities and real-world contexts (ASEE, 2013; Kamp, 2016; Passow & Passow, 2017; Palmer et al., 2011; Ro et al., 2015). Yet crowded syllabi, student resistance to
non-technical material, and competing instructor demands often limit attention to social and contextual analysis in engineering and design programs (Lattuca et al., 2020; Riley, 2008).

This interactive workshop equips engineering and design educators to integrate sociotechnical thinking into existing courses. Drawing on a new library of free, open-access classroom resources from the Center for Socially Engaged Engineering & Design at the University of Michigan, participants will experience two evidence-based, adaptable sessions they can immediately implement in their own teaching. Each attendee will receive a ready-to-use instructional package—including lesson plan, slides, and student materials—and full access to a growing library of sociotechnical modules spanning the design process and multiple engineering fields.

Participants will work through guided design workshops and contemporary case studies that reveal how social context, ethical judgment, and stakeholder engagement shape technical decisions—and how technical decisions, in turn, produce social consequences. The sessions emphasize active learning, peer exchange, and resource sharing, giving participants practical tools and strategies to embed sociotechnical insight into their teaching.

Expected Outcomes
-------------------------------
• Participants will gain free access to a growing library of sociotechnical teaching materials adaptable across engineering and design disciplines.
• Participants will leave with a ready-to-use instructional packet (lesson plan, slides, and student materials) for immediate classroom use.
• Participants will develop an implementation plan for integrating at least one sociotechnical case or activity into their own course.
• Participants will join a broader community of practice focused on sociotechnical integration in engineering design education.

Proposed Workshop Schedule
==================================
This participatory format immerses attendees in the learning experience they can later replicate with students. Each participant will leave with complete, adaptable materials and access to an expanding national library of sociotechnical engineering resources
