becoming increasingly common in the engineering education field.The field of Science and Technology studies has explored these interconnections for years.Thought leaders Baillie and Vanasupa design contextualized concepts for materials sciencestudents that introduce materials characterization, semiconductors, polymers, composites, andother common material science topics [5]. Others seek to bring sustainable engineering practicesinto the materials science classroom with short modules over the semester, a model much likethose presented in greater detail in this paper [6]. Some develop full courses that blendtechnology in materials science with ethics and social responsibility [7-9].The integration of the social and technical is also valued by ABET

Bologna Declaration was signed in 1999, higher education institutions throughoutEurope launched vast curriculum reforms including transition to the concept of learningoutcomes often determined as specific statements of what students should know and are able todo as a result of learning. Being a nice complement to different qualification frameworks,quality assurance and accreditation systems, the outcome- based approach has becomeincreasingly popular at international level. Although specific features, different ways and levelsof implementation appear depending on the country.This paper presents a summary of learning-outcomes development in Latin America, andparticularly in Colombian technical universities, describes the state-of-art and

AbstractAs the world becomes increasingly complicated, systems thinking continues to gain recognitionas an important and necessary skill for future engineers. Systems thinking does not replacetraditional technical skills required of engineers; rather, it provides a complementary skillset tohelp better navigate complex systems and their corresponding problems. The increasingcomplexity of U.S. industries demands that universities train and educate future engineers withsystems-thinking skills to solve the range of interconnected problems companies may face. Manyfactors have the potentials to impact systems-thinking skills. This paper aims to identify the effectsof potential impacting factors on the systems-thinking skillset. Current college
