The program will culminate with the students presenting their results at the EmergingResearchers Nationwide conference, which will continue to provide the students new experienceswithin STEM and STEM research they would not have experienced otherwise. Future iterationsof this program will continue to refine the experiments while maintaining the creative aspect thatallows the students to participate in their optimization.

VirginiaAbstractNontechnical engineering skills are integral to the successful practice of the engineeringprofession. However, the dominant image of engineering rarely evokes ideas of typing pages ofprose. A field that has been adopted into the engineering curriculum to help engage engineeringstudents in higher education is Science, Technology, and Society (STS). As an interdisciplinaryfield, STS offers an active-learning environment to refine nontechnical engineering skills likeproblem-solving and communication. One recent question amongst STS scholars for engineersis: what role will generative AI play in the learning process for written communication? Perhapsone question that has not received as much attention is how this kind of AI could be beneficial inuniversity

The integrated nature of this course isintended to develop an epistemology that engineering knowledge cannot be easily separated.Solving a problem almost always involves thinking across disciplines. In this way the courseprovides some correction to a view of engineering knowledge which is somewhat inevitablegiven that students progress through courses which seem to be largely isolated from one another.In addition to the connectedness of engineering knowledge, this course aims to deepen students’understanding of the

similar notionsdifferently [3]. For example, a businessperson’s notion of risk, driven by the bottom line, differsgreatly from an engineer’s, for whom safety is paramount [4]. Engineering thinking, stressingproblem solving, is more akin to the strategies of ethics. Indeed, as ethicist Michael Davis hasnoted, ethical thinking is integral to engineering: “Knowing engineering ethics is as much a partof knowing how to engineer as knowing how to calculate stress or design a circuit . . . insofar asengineering is a profession, knowing how to calculate stress or design a circuit is in part knowingwhat the profession allows, forbids, or requires” [5].

The integration of ethics is also an ill-structured aspect of the problem, especiallysince meeting the 20% weight reduction is a stretch goal, which the instructor is aware of but thestudents are not. In resolving ill-structured aspects present and emergent in the problem, studentsnecessarily participate in actions that constitute problem framing.Like the previous problem, resolving complexity is reflected in actions of decomposing the pedal-crank system into individual components that can be analyzed as part of the redesign process.Eventually, complexity is further resolved in synthesizing changes to individual components tounderstand the impact at the system level.
