DESCRIPTION:This project examines how undergraduate engineering students de
 velop critical consciousness—the ability to recognize social inequities\
 , feel motivated to challenge them\, and engage in informed action—withi
 n the context of required Science\, Technology\, and Society (STS) courses
  at the University of Virginia. Using a convergent mixed-methods design\, 
 this study will explore how both curricular content and peer relationships
  contribute to critical consciousness development in first-year engineerin
 g students over a semester. The project integrates longitudinal survey dat
 a\, social network analysis\, and qualitative interviews to identify curri
 cular and social factors that facilitate or hinder critical consciousness 
 development in Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics (STEM)
  education. This project aims to address the following research objectives
 —\n1. Examine whether and how students enrolled in STS courses develop c
 ritical consciousness over a semester.\n2. Investigate how peer networks f
 orm and evolve in STS classes\, and whether these social relationships inf
 luence students’ CC development.
