A review of the literature, then, will help place the present paper in itshistorical, intellectual, and international context. This review will address first the need for theHumanities and the Social Sciences (to be abbreviated “HSS” below), and then theimplementation and integration of HSS2 within engineering curricula.The Need for Humanities and Social Sciences in EngineeringThe

The contrast in attendance between the ASEE special session and the AIChE workshop isreflective of the challenge in attracting mainstream faculty to education reform.In addition to the activities already completed, professional society related activities are plannedfor the future. One such activity is a 3-hour, two-part workshop at the ASEE ChemicalEngineering Faculty Summer School in July, 2012. The goal of this workshop is to provide earlycareer faculty members with the education methods and tools they will need to incorporateconcept-based pedagogy into their classrooms.

Since they are working in groups of 3 to 5students, they are able to support each other, sharing their strengths and learning styles. Whenthese labs have been run in the past, a collaborative buzz fills the room. By requiring writtenreports for both labs, the students have to reflect on their tests and observations.The writing required is “expressive,” requiring students to think through the problems presented.According to Julie Sharp, “… engineering educators can use writing-to-learn assignments to helpstudents learn technical material,” (Sharp, 1997).

It alsomeant that the architectural students were scheduled to meet 12 hours each week, for three four-hour sessions, while the Civil Engineering Department kept the course as a 400-level technicalelective and the engineering students were scheduled for 4 hrs each week, with two two-hoursessions that coincided with the last two hours of the architectural studio.
