responsibility is the desire to dosomething to meet societal needs. Vanzdoort discusses the micro levels of social responsibilitysuch as ethical codes for engineers and macro levels of social responsibility such as societaldecisions about technology. He states that knowledge of the social aspects of engineering isnecessary because of the environment in which engineers work [1]. Research also suggests thatthere is a need for global competence in the engineering profession. Lohmann, Rollins, and Hoeyresearched the importance of learning about cultures and issues worldwide [2]. Their studyconcluded that international study is key to becoming a successful global engineer.

Combined, this dichotomy of the engineering curriculum into the technical(engineering sciences) and the social (HSS), with perhaps some occasional (yet often superficial)sociotechnical integration in engineering design, constitutes a disservice to future engineers.Engineers-to-be need to practice thinking not just technically or socially, but sociotechnically.By practicing sociotechnical thinking, engineering students can improve their
