practiceIntroductionEngineering work relies on effective collaboration and communication among diverse groups ofengineers and scientists, and engagement in partnership with broader constituencies (managers,technicians, end users, among others). There is a long-standing expectation that graduates fromengineering programs be proficient communicators and team members, and outcomes relevantto communication and teaming survived the recent re-visioning of ABET criterion 3 (Graduateswill have … “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provideleadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives” and “an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences”).

Inreferring to the ECE program, students characterized their experience in terms of “survival.” Onestudent called himself and his peers “veterans of ECE,” while others described the studentculture as “stressed.” Christopher, a sophomore in CompE, recalled his strategy for coping withthe rigor of ECE: Because it's hard, but trying to avoid burn out the only way to do is to follow the plan of study. What's better to do is learn when you are going to burn out and pick a time when you can afford it. If you can do it before the finals, do it right before the finals, because you don't want to do it the week of the exams, because you want to study at that time

typical engineering identities. For example, studentsdiscussed the breakdown of their assumptions about the popular “nerd” and “builder” stereotypesof engineers. One student discussed the differences between their previous beliefs of engineers as“typically non-social people who were only proficient at math and science” and those they holdas a result of participating in STEP, which included constructively using criticism and effectivelycommunicating ideas. Another student discussed their prior belief about engineers as “glorifiedfactory workers,” but, through the course and participation in STEP, came to see engineers as“dynamic problem solvers” who engage in “careful planning and out of the box problemsolving.” Additionally, students shared

We have selected energy, as it is afoundational topic across multiple engineering disciplines, relevant to students’ lived 2experiences, and has important social ramifications. We are targeting a class in the second yearto provide students with a grounding in CSP early in their engineering education so that theymight use these mindsets moving forward.

Their enthusiasm actually impeded their process as their plans wereentrenched by the time they learnt that their poster was to be their primary creative source.

There is little, if any,subjective evaluation involved in the scientific method.The Engineering Design ProcessIn engineering curricula, many programs introduce students to an engineering design process.One description of this process is “a series of steps that guides engineering teams as we solveproblems. The design process is iterative, meaning that we repeat the steps as many times asneeded, making improvements along the way as we learn from failure and uncover new designpossibilities to arrive at great solutions.” This source goes on to describe seven steps: (1) “Ask:Identify the need & constraints”, (2) “Research the problem”, (3) “Imagine: develop possiblesolutions”, (4) “Plan: select a promising solution”, (5) “Create

In the process, non-major students can also gainappreciation for essential concepts, controversies and current areas of exploration, whiledeveloping increased technological literacy for critiquing scientific or technologicalclaims in presentations of various forms. Teaching an STS course, however, requires avery different pedagogical approach than a faculty member may use for a traditionalengineering course. Rather than an emphasis on rigorous quantitative problem solving orproject planning, non-major students benefit much more from an approach that providessufficient historical context and biographical details of explorers and their contributions.The instructor should effectively guide discussions on key questions
