We have a blend of engineeringand architecture students, engineering and architecture courses, accrediting boards, and publicand private institutions of higher education. At the simplest level, engineering students enroll inengineering courses and architecture students enroll in architecture courses in a public land-grant institution.

Experienced engineers working with new productsmay be working with unfamiliar users, while early career engineers are learning that end usersare important to anticipate during the design, testing and implementation process.Studies of engineering work, workplace learning and science and technology studies havehistorically observed these design and work practices in order to better understand therelationships between technologies and users. This focus has generated a diverse number ofconcepts that describe users and the “user-technology nexus” (Oudshoorn & Pinch 2003:2).
