socialjustice. Using a particular perspective on sociotechnical thinking (STSE), the goal of thisresearch was to explore sociotechnical thinking within engineering instructor teaching goals andpractices. The study also sought to identify the challenges and enabling factors that engineeringinstructors experience in utilizing teaching practices related to sociotechnical thinking. STSEwas selected given both its inherent flexibility, and its specific features that allow for somenatural connections with engineering. Using STSE also allowed for the introduction of aframework from a different context to assess its utility and relevance to the engineeringlandscape.This study employed an online survey, featuring both qualitative and quantitative methods

The findings are presented below.Expansion of PerceptionExpansion of perception was measured by Questions 9, 10, and 11, as shown in Table 1.It was found that the responses to Question 9 were positively saturated, as 51% (n=15) of thestudents who came into the class gave responses like the following on the entry survey: “In the engineering field, even though aesthetics is rarely mentioned in any textbooks or

Research Questions To assess the impact of SI on freshmen engineering participants, this report addresses the following questions: 1. How did SI attendance affect overall course GPAs for SI students versus non-SI students in this course? 2. How did SI attendance affect QDFW% rates for SI students versus non-SI students in this

Students’ own experiences and performance on assessments indicate that thetraditional “lecture-homework-exam” method of engineering education is insufficient to fulfillthe goal of long-term information retention and academic and professional success [4].Furthermore, students who struggle significantly to succeed in classes employing this method ofeducation are more likely to discontinue their pursuit of engineering, as evidenced by the >50%attrition rate observed in many

To understand this cultural model weneed to examine the beliefs that are born from it. In other words, to understand thestudents’ cultural model of the process we must examine what they report theirbeliefs about the process to be. It is important to understand this cultural model,because it is an evaluative tool, one that allows them to assess themselves andothers. This in turn shapes the students’ view of themselves and others, and howothers see them as well. Page 12.428.2Gaining entry to a

review briefly outlines some of the common motivations behindthe development of design agents as well as providing a high-level overview of the softwarearchitecture used in these systems.A frequent motivation or target goal of design agent systems is to create intelligent assistive toolsfor designers, often by having agents search a design space for solutions6,43, 45-46. These designagent systems typically employ multiple agents, called multi-agent systems, which includesmultiple agents with the same role as well as differentiated roles across agents6, 43, 46-47. Some ofthe roles design agents may take on include search/configuration agents that create solutions4-5,43-44 to evaluators that assess the performance of a generated solution44-46

With practice, freshmen become more comfortable with the modeling process [3].They understand the value of solving challenging, open-ended problems with multiple potentialsolutions.
