Then, at multiple points in the four-year program, Students work inindustry (a co-op assignment with an engineer's salary; a total of three co-ops is mandatory forgraduation) to apply their knowledge and build real work experience. Rather than focusing ondry theoretical topics separately, we teach engineering theory through an integrated and appliedapproach in system design, so Students learn how concepts work together - as they would in the"real world."Students also have team-oriented design experiences integrated throughout their curriculum

Becoming moresociotechnically literate involves moving away from focusing on individual accountability andtowards being able to recognize systemic causality, rooted in a historical context.Beyond assigning responsibility for harm that has been caused by existing technologies, studentsare also asked to struggle with the idea of who they are responsible for when (if) they becomedesigners and engineers. With much of engineering still client-driven, institutions and people inpower choose the problems that are to be solved, often at the expense of the broader community;we need to teach students to ask: “for whom and by whom is engineering done?” (Riley, 2008, p.97).Across all three of these dimensions, it is important for

Team formation by self-selection is still pervasive despiteoverwhelming evidence of the problematic outcomes [14]. In cases where team formation iscontrolled by instructors, race, gender, and other salient characteristics that may serve as markersof difference within teams should be carefully considered in the execution of team-basedlearning.
