In ourconception of innovation, students become innovators when they are freed from thinking withstereotypes and freed from unilaterally seeking approval from their relationships with others, andinstead can develop the capacity to construct their own knowledge, identities and relationships.Methods For our research in understanding and reporting on the educational environment in whichthe IPM classes were situated, we relied on ethnographic observation.

. Most of thesepapers describe a specific course, project, program, or teaching tool, without making ageneralized claim about STS or engineering education.Authorship trends may reflect the common understanding of STS that is present in the appliedSTS papers and absent in many of the other papers (Table 2). Half of both groups’ papers werewritten by teams of authors from different disciplines, such as engineering, STS, social sciences,and education. A third of the applied STS papers were written by STS scholars, while a third ofthe other papers were written by engineers. This discrepancy may explain why the applied STSpapers share a worldview that the other papers do not. However, it does not mean that engineerslack an understanding or

These are a few of the questions thatexplorations of inclusion artifacts may begin to provide answers to.Furthermore, in teaching teamwork practices, faculty could use the concept of BNAs to teachcommunication skills by demonstrating how inclusion artifacts can help them explain their ideasto other team members and other relevant stakeholders. Prototypes, sketches, and CADdrawings—all of which could be boundary negotiating artifacts—are significant parts ofengineering work, and their importance should not be downplayed. When such objects areassignments for interdisciplinary teams, they can be conceptualized as BNAs and used to callstudents’ attention

Despite this interest, few university science or engineering programs dedicateformal coursework in public communication to undergraduate or graduate students 21. Whenprograms do offer such training, they are usually limited to teaching students to write intraditional genres such as press releases, newspaper-style articles, and essays13, 14, and fail toconsider more personal, informal, and affective forms of communication such as face-to-faceconversations that can occur through science cafes or street science 22, 23 or to make use ofmultimedia genres such as podcasts, blogs, or

Teaching, the American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE) and its precursor, the Society for the Promotion of EngineeringEducation, internalized an investigation tradition built on familiar practices such as survey research, sitevisits, and the enlistment of objective experts hired to carry out an investigation. During mid-century,however, internal fissures within the engineering profession and among the engineering schools causedthe primary decision-making authority to shift from ASEE to ECPD. With it, the voluntary traditions ofinvestigation and society-wide deliberation that characterized ASEE’s grand investigations gave way tothe more mediated conversations carried out within the particular governance structure set up for theECPD, which

, we teach the students to fashion sentences onthe spot after planning and practice. Although the recommendation to students in all sections ofthis course is to speak extemporaneously, the textbook used in the regular sections advises thecreation and use of speaking notes.24 These speaking notes, which are described as condensedversions of a preparation outline, contain the following: key words or phrases for points, sub-points, transitions, statistics, and delivery cues (such as stage directions). Perhaps because of this recommendation of speaking notes, observations from a speakingcontest associated with the course reveal that the overwhelming majority of students read from ascript, rely on a stack of note cards, or read bulleted

It’s time to explicitlyrecognize that what is fundamental to engineering practice goes beyond the scientific,instrumental rationality; to fail to acknowledge this is “just about unethical”.”.21Wendy Faulkner22 observes that “Their educational grounding in mathematics and science allowsengineers to claim an identity in the material and (mostly) predictable phenomena governed bythe 'laws of nature', backed up by a faith in cause-and-effect reasoning. And this same materialityand scientificity enables them to claim, as the central contribution of engineering design, that itcreates technologies that 'do the

of the compounding errors that yield catastrophic results. Morerecently, a second approach has emerged in the teaching and scholarship and stands in starkcontrast to aspirations for greater control. This approach seeks to foster reflexivity and learningabout one’s own context and broader societal implications of engineering practice. Robbins [8]offers the notion of the “reflexive practitioner” as an emergent theme in engineering ethics.However, there are few examples for how such reflexivity can be demonstrated in the educationand maturation of engineers. This project aims to address that knowledge gap in a small, but important way, byassessing reflective writing by engineers in an undergraduate program. This paper offers datafrom 65
