Page 22.1406.14close reading of the Grand Challenges for Engineering report shows that it preserves an outdatedimage of engineering as separated from other domains of social innovation. This paper hasidentified several of those assumptions and described how they are untenable in understandingengineering generally, but are especially problematic if we are systematically to redirectengineering toward complex social problems. The paper has also identified how the technical-social division, in concert with externalization of responsibility for understanding the social, hasproblematic implications for engineers’ collaboration with non-technical participants in problemsolving.

The course enrolls 35-50 students each spring semester. Students in the lab learn steriletechnique by conducting viability, attachment and proliferation assays using fibroblast cells. Thestudents’ coursework culminates in a technical poster assignment in which they display theirresults from three or four of their completed assays.The BIOE 342 course instructor developed the technical poster assignment in partnership with aninstructor from the Cain Project in Engineering and Professional Communication at RiceUniversity.

Students often have to ask the company mentor for a list of standards theproduct must conform to, or if the fixture must meet or perform any standard test procedure.
