The gamelearners would assume themselves to be playing is the “test” game. By contrast, if an instructorintroduces a visitor from a nearby engineering firm and asks that visitor to present a dilemmafaced by her organization, learners may assume a very different kind of game – one in which thegoal is to solve a problem so that they can offer advice on how to overcome a real-life challenge.When novice elementary teachers are asked to complete an engineering design task, we mightexpect stability in an “engineering game

However, in order to educate ourstudents for contributing to innovation activities in their organizations, we need a betterunderstanding of the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are relevant for early-careerengineers in their development efforts. As a starting point to add to this understanding, westart by asking: what does meaningful engineering work look like in the eyes of early careerengineers? We then go on to consider engineering work that is not only meaningful but alsoinnovative, asking: What does innovative work look like in the eyes of early careerengineers?

The collaborative nature of engineering design is also well-established,9 with individuals of different personalities, technical backgrounds, and levels ofexperience coming together to meet shared design objectives. Following this real-world practice,engineering educators routinely put students in design teams to complete both simple andcomplex projects. However, in many cases, they do not consider the cognitive diversity amongthe students in

While many of these characterizations presentedsociotechnical thinking as something new - see below for more on this - others identifiedapplications for sociotechnical thinking within established engineering ways of working,learning or designing. Many of these examples surfaced in the context of design-based courses,exercises, or practices. Participants noted the importance of sociotechnical thinking for thinkingthrough “real-world” or “wicked” problems in a comprehensive way, and discussed the potentialfor sociotechnical thinking to improve communication between people.

For example, one engineering student, who is a twin, talkedabout her relationship with her sister as they played when they were younger compared to therest of her family, “I guess having another, 4-year-old to play with made it better. I guess [ourparents], they couldn’t see the vision.” Here we note the activity of play between siblings, butalso, central to this dynamic is that no one involved was attempting to control the situation,instead it was mutually exploited by all parties, still maintaining that unstructured nature withoutcomplete independence.

The disagreement between students and experts possibly shows thatfurther exposure to real-world scenarios may be needed in engineering ethics courses.

One obstacle to broad, nationwidedeployment of internationalization in STEM education is the custom-constructed, mix-and-matchnature of many existing programs, which often began as experimental initiatives based on aparticular existing relationship to a particular university abroad. This often makes suchinitiatives both difficult to scale beyond the natural capacity of the initial partnership and, moreimportantly, difficult to expand to other departments, colleges, or institutions.
