Introduction to Computer Science + Society: A Multidisciplinary Course for All1. IntroductionEngineering education with a narrow focus on technology may have made sense in the past, itfails to meet the needs of 21st-century students, who will enter industries that fuse theHumanities with various forms of technology. Having a strong background only in STEM fieldswill not prepare tomorrow’s leaders for the complex social issues they will navigate. Broad,rigorous training in the liberal arts will meaningfully complement Engineering education.Multidisciplinary training in a variety of methods of research and interpretation preparesgraduates to tackle complex problems with the humility and confidence to conceptualize theirinvestigation in a

from your chosen option Self-blame – because you made the choice, if you are unhappy with it you feel responsible for disappointing yourselfIn his TED Talk6, Schwartz summarizes his understanding of the research on choice by stating“There is no question that some choice is better than none, but it doesn’t follow from that, thatmore choice is better than some choice. There is some magical amount. I don’t know what itis.”Due to the nuanced nature of choice effect it seems that the field of engineering education willbenefit from research on choice within collegiate level courses.
