Their study found that“problem areas like qualitative reasoning, analogy, and creativity are ignored in favor of ones that are more easilyformalized” [31]. Promoting critical thinking and creativity through interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solvingcan set the basis for qualitative reasoning beyond quantitative analyses. It also allows for deeper reasoning on theinterplays between society and technology.These findings echo Mishra and Siy, who warned that “a Computer Science centric

BackgroundSince the publication of the Green Report in 19961 there has been a strong push withinengineering education practice and research to better prepare engineering graduates for the socio-technical world in which engineers are embedded. Surprisingly, this drive to better alignengineering education with the socio-technical world began many decades earlier with theCarnegie Foundation's 1918 publication of A Study of Engineering Education2. In spite of theeffort in recent years to operationalize the student learning of the necessary competencies (e. g.through ABET outcomes3) there is a disconnect between what students learn in engineering, Page

The project is currently in itsinitial phase, with instrument development and pilot testing currently underway.Multiple studies show significant gaps between school and work with respect to engineeringpractice 1-3. That gap is clear, for example, in a recent American Society of MechanicalEngineering (ASME) survey that found weaknesses among new graduates in skills includingpractical experience, systems perspectives, project management, problem solving, and design 4, 5.Equally important, industry supervisors identified such gaps more frequently than early careerengineers or academic department heads 4, reinforcing Stevens et al.’s claim
