A key finding was that “Students who score highly onknowing an engineer as a reason for selecting a major, wanting a good potential salary, designingand building things, and their perceptions of the present were likely to be traditional engineers.Students who want to prove themselves in the hardest possible major and benefit society are likelyto be in interdisciplinary majors.” In addition, “BIOE (bioengineering) females feel they have agreater understanding and ethical responsibility, and confidence in their choice of majorcompared to top enrollment (traditional engineering and other majors) females.” Rasoal, et

engineering students often dothe opposite: they focus on social (and sometimes SJ) dimensions but exclude technical ones.With the exception of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and occasionally ProfessionalCommunication and Engineering Ethics, most HSS disciplines rarely try to bridge the social andthe technical. Combined, this dichotomy of the engineering curriculum into the technical(engineering sciences) and the social (HSS), with perhaps some occasional (yet often superficial)sociotechnical integration in engineering design, constitutes a disservice to future engineers.Engineers-to-be need to practice thinking not just technically or socially, but sociotechnically.By practicing sociotechnical thinking, engineering students can improve their

, 2016 From Problem Solvers to Problem Seekers: The Necessary Role of Tension in Engineering EducationIn this paper it is proposed that the current focus on problems in engineering education andtechnological literacy may be more constructively reframed by focusing on tensions. PriyanDias claims engineering has an identity crisis that arises from tensions inherent in: 1) theinfluence of the profession on society, 2) the role engineers play, and 3) what constitutes validknowledge in engineering. These are ethical, ontological, and epistemological tensionsrespectively, which Dias frames as a tension between identities of homo sapiens and homo faber.Beyond the tensions in engineering there are additional tensions that arise
