Actor-Network Theory encourages a fresh perspective ofsophomore engineering that affords researchers a systems-level view of these critical gatewaycourses and suggests fundamental questions regarding the nature of our courses and how they gotthis way in the first place.

These demands have evolved the current practice of engineering in such a way thatthere now exists disconnect between engineering education and engineering practice. This disconnect hasresulted in today’s engineering students lacking the key skills needed to be successful engineers [4] andresulted in many prominent calls to reduce the distance between engineering education and engineeringpractice. The most notable call is perhaps from the National Academy of Engineering’s Engineer of 2020project [5], [6] which calls for the inclusion of interdisciplinary knowledge and teamwork
