Abstract
In this work-in-progress qualitative case study, we explore how first- and second year undergraduate students experience uncertainty when doing expansive thinking in sociotechnical engineering modeling work. For this purpose, we analyze stimulated recall interviews of four students to identify the different ways in which they experienced both relational and epistemological uncertainty during an in-class discussion activity.
