This frameworkhelps to clarify how “sociotechnical integration” is in fact a high bar for engineering designpractice (or, for that matter, any formalized inquiry practice). The following section provides anoverview and justification of our Design Engineering program’s curricular structure, built as it isaround a “design spine”—that is, open-ended project-based design every semester—alongsidemore traditional engineering curricular requirements. After reviewing our curriculum, we turnattention to the design of our program’s ABET assessment infrastructure and how we have usedABET requirements to ensure we hold ourselves accountable to a high-bar of sociotechnicalintegration across our design spine.

These obstacles include personal factors,such as students’ levels of maturity and faculty attitudes towards teaching ethics, as well assystemic barriers, such as inadequate ethical training in the faculty’s own education15. Thesesystemic barriers can interfere with the ability to incorporate ethics into the curriculum, and thuspotentially hinder students’ ethical development. Therefore, it is important to recognize theseobstacles and develop ways to overcome them.Conceptual FrameworkThe overall research project is guided by a conceptual model of

The university introduced an intensive, between-the-semester course, Soft Skills for Science and Technology for students of all majors.The experiment aimed to prepare the students for the reality of an engineering profession,which now requires the “soft” skills capability.
