challenge for sociotechnical engineering instruction is the evaluation of itseffects. Some of the difficulty results from the breadth of educators’ goals. Most of these effortsdo not define specific desired outcomes beyond increasing students’ ability to understand “thetechnical” and “the social” as deeply connected, and to appreciate that sociotechnical thinking isan important part of engineering work. That is, sociotechnical engineering programs andinterventions rarely prescribe desired career paths or other, more easily quantifiable goals fortheir students. Attempts to measure the success of sociotechnical thinking contextualizationtherefore require ascertaining how students’ thoughts about their work and identities haveshifted, if at all

online student teams farexceeded the projects of the traditional section teams. The quality of the presentations wassuperior for the online students, and the data analysis for the wind project was at a greater levelof detail for the online students. Both instructors feel this may be attributed to the ability of theonline students to work more effectively in teams than the face to face students.Both instructors believe that the interviews are a vital component to the course and allow thestudents to not only understand what a practicing engineer does in his or her career, but theinterviews add relevancy to the course material. Both instructors were disappointed in thenumber of students who viewed the videos and had expected that all students would
, throughintegrated design. This paper proposes to extend a typical mechatronics course beyond traditionalengineering topics, and to modernize the mechatronics instructions with complementary quantumengineering topics. With the recent rapid advances in quantum technologies such as quantumcommunications, sensing, computers, and algorithms, it is imperative that next generation ofengineers be trained in quantum technologies, and prepare them for their future careers in the ever-changing industry in such areas. Furthermore, due to such progress and advances in the fieldsassociated with the applications of quantum mechanics, the integration of quantum technologieswith classical mechanical systems will be inevitable both in terms of educational and
overcrowded technical curriculum allows forlittle attention to be inserting a sustained discussion of ethical, social and political issues into thisovercrowded curriculum. The injection of a discussion of ethical issues into a curriculum is madeeven more difficult when professors often defend ideologies and the use of essential categoriesthat are discipline specific and they remain committed to the pursuit of research agendas that areat times beyond the understanding of the students who are being taught and that have questionablerelevance to the careers students are pursuing. A method for teaching engineering and ICT ethicsmust connect to the life world of engineering professionals in the field and to problems occurringin that world and to the lived

aroundpair programming for women. Unlike the study above [44], they did not pair students updepending on gender [45]. Instead, they sought to understand the differences in perceptions ofpair programming between female and male students in an introductory programming coursethrough thematic analysis of survey questions. A majority of men and women had positivesentiments around pair programming. The positive themes included improved learningexperience, gaining career skills, and networking, many of the very same benefits suggested bysocial constructivist learning theory. Women reported that they experienced social benefits, suchas improved confidence, more often than men. Men reported experienced benefits to the overallprocess of completing lab
