sociotechnicalthinking and methods. In 1970, Lafayette College initiated this degree program, with the goal ofproducing graduates who could bridge the gap between engineering and the liberal arts; after 50years, its mission is to help students recognize the increasingly complex challenges ofengineering in the larger framework of socio-technical systems and develop the ability to analyzeand understand these systems through multi-disciplinary perspectives. Lafayette’s coreEngineering Studies curriculum is designed to help students gain expertise in examining theplace of engineering and technology in society, with interdisciplinary skills to lead publictechnology debates around issues related to policy, management, economics, and theenvironment.

As such, thedevelopment of a draft set of objectives and outcomes as a standard for the program was the firstteam design activity. The engineering program will seek ABET accreditation under the generalengineering criteria as soon as possible, and development of program objectives and outcomes isa central component of this accreditation.

Tomake programming less abstract and to establish a real-life connection, we use MATLAB forinterfacing with a data acquisition device called LabJack. Students use MATLAB’s integrateddevelopment environment to write scripts that control the LabJack.This environment has enabled students to participate in some interesting hands-on projects thatcombine problem-solving, programming, and interfacing.
