dichotomy of some kind betweensocial and technical thinking: “Yeah, I think I've definitely heard some people mention it, or it'sbeen explained to me in some way, but never with the term ‘engineering’ at the end of it”(00:11:06).Throughout the focus group, much of the discussion from Dorothy related social and technicalthinking to engineering design. Dorothy pointed out the importance of social impacts onengineering design and of designing products with everyone in mind. The idea that Dorothyrelates social considerations to engineering design and creativity shows that Dorothy possesses abasic sense of sociotechnical integration, a level of understanding likely also held by other first-year engineering students. One research team member noted during

I observed that the students were more concerned about building and launching the catapults rather than thinking about the process that allows them to build and be successful. – 4th grade Much of the rushed discussion involved teaching about the engineering design process..Many expressed a desire to “be more mindful of the process” and “putting more emphasis onwhat stage we were in.” One wished they had created a “powerpoint or some anchor chart todisplay each step” and expressed concern that the second grade students

This surveycaptured both faculty and student responses, although faculty responses were not used at the be-ginning of the pandemic as most efforts were placed on helping students. A total of 113 facultyresponded to this survey, and those responses are discussed here.The Engineering Education Faculty Group (EEFG) began meeting weekly during the pandemicto support each other. During these meetings, the members of the EEFG would share variousmethods that they were using in their own online classes and the struggles or successes that theywere experiencing.

Evidently, students realized how criticalteamwork is and therefore, it is something at the forefront of their minds as a pathway to success.For the team to succeed, more is required beyond the completion of individual pieces.

Contemporary pedagogicalapproaches, such as problem-based learning and entrepreneurially minded learning, have as acentral focus the desire to expose students to authentic experiences which integrate technicalknowledge with workplace skills connected to professionalism, communication, collaboration,and leadership. This approach can conflict with traditional engineering curricula where theinstruction of technical skills are frequently separated or deemed more important than “softskills” instruction in

A third block ofquestions, suggested and vetted by Cornell’s Diversity Programs in Engineering Office, asksstudents about feeling included in the course.

We had one group that tried to make a solar powered car, so I think the societal/ environmental impacts have always been a driving but underlying force in pretty much all of the big projects that I’ve done.
