integrating selected ST and SE topics in a sophomore-level design course [14-17], thispaper outlined a possible approach to translate that effort to other stages within an undergraduatemechanical engineering program, specifically at the freshman-level.The baseline STSS results reported here highlight the potential of the proposed intervention tosignificantly improve students’ abilities in ST and SE. For example, average post-testperformance on technical questions was only 53%, indicating plenty of room for learning andimprovement. In addition, the difference in results between the two sections of the STSS –namely, significant change in students’ self-efficacy (perception) vs. no significant change instudents’ performance (direct measure) – emphasizes

While CharlesBabbage designed the first mechanical computer as early as 1822 [1], the digital computersare relatively new and have been with us since the 1930s [2]. In recent years, computerprogramming has shifted from being a skill for an elect few computer scientists to enteringthe main stream of education [3]. At the United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), learning computer programminghas been an integral part of the Electrical Engineering curriculum for decades.

The students were encouraged to use criticalthinking skills to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply for advanced real-worldproblems. Significant improvement in critical thinking skills of students have been achievedthrough this sequence. An integrated thinking approach is adopted by Katz [3] to bridge the educational gapbetween analytical and design thinking for mechanical engineering students. The suggestedapproach is implemented by reforming science engineering courses by stressing the

Asstudents advance in their studies and specialize, the models become more complex as fewerassumptions are made.Engineering science courses are typically taught with a lecture-based pedagogy and assignstudents sets of homework problems to engage them in practicing the course material outside ofclass time. Problem sets usually comprise problems from the course textbook or are written bythe professor. Although the number and length of problem sets varies by instructor, a problem settypically takes several hours of work (and in the U.S., a 3-credit-hour 12-week undergraduatecourse assumes 6 hours per week of out-of-class work).

From theperspective of developing future engineers and scientists, an early emphasis on linkages to publicpolicy and societal issues can promote student buy-in, and prepare for future policy andadvocacy work that are, increasingly, a component of scientific and engineering careers. Fromthe perspective of the science and engineering community, early exposure to the responsivenessand integration of policy into STEM will increase
