This report documents the roundtable ‘Making STS Reverberate through Engineering: Reflections on Engineering Studies’, hosted by the International Network for Engineering Studies (INES) at the 2025 Society for the Social Studies of Science (4S) meeting in Seattle. The roundtable examined engineering studies as a field and its relationship to Science and Technology Studies (STS), exploring how STS-informed scholarship shapes engineering research, education, and practice. Participants discussed critical questions about reciprocal learning: How do our analyses of engineering cultures shape the engineers we research and teach? What impact do engineering perspectives have on STS scholarship? The roundtable began a discussion of practices in STS-informed engineering studies, including historical, cultural, political, and ethical analyses of engineers and their work, as well as interdisciplinary research collaborations and their effects on engineering students, research participants, and scholars.
