It also helps students to actively engage in the process of planning, designing, andinterpreting construction related data. Moreover, the model represents an invaluable tool toteach students the notion of cooperative work, which is in line with the advancements of theconstruction industry.

In creating the assignment thatis the focus of this paper, we strove to incorporate these concerns by tasking students with thechallenge of framing an engineering problem in a way that considers multiple, differentstakeholder opinions on why the problem matters and how to approach the solution.For intervention assignments to be effective, students must be actively engaged in the classroom.The desire to incorporate sociotechnical thinking in classrooms has strong ties to previousresearch on effectively engaging engineering students by Adams et al [19].
