. 1IntroductionSociotechnical integration is a compelling framework for addressing the demands of educatingfuture engineers and similarly situated practitioners [1]. One of its most exciting opportunitiescomes when a new field is emerging and new educational programs can be designed from theground up. This paper analyzes UC Berkeley’s experience with sociotechnical integration in thecase of a new interdisciplinary undergraduate engineering discipline: data science. It reports onexperiments in collaborative curricular design and implementation by an interdisciplinary teamof instructors that currently achieves impact at the scale of several thousand students each year.Sociotechnical integration draws from the field of STS (science and technology studies) andrelated

Through support from Palm, Inc [2], Palm PDA technology was introduced intoan introductory digital systems engineering course for 24 students in the fall of 2000 atPenn State Abington. The digital systems course covers topics in number systems, logicgates, Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential logic, state machines, memoryconcepts, and programmable logic devices. These engineering students evaluated anddeveloped handheld software tools for enhancing active learning and instruction in boththe lecture and laboratory components of the course. Databases, simple

A good example of this perception is thefact that the EIET program at UNI has recently completed its first year of operation with greatsuccess and increased enrollment. Part of this achievement was due to the fact that the facultyuses advanced software and hardware tools to educate the students that choose the EIET major.This in turn allows for the continuous improvement of the curriculum so that it is always modernand attached to the trends of the ever-expanding electrical engineering

CAD is often taught in one or morefreshman or sophomore courses and focuses largely on static geometric issues associated withparts, assemblies, and drawings. It is commonly paired with a track on drafting. SystemDynamics is often a sophomore or junior level mechanical engineering course and emphasizesapplied mathematical modeling of systems from different energy domains, incorporates suchsimulation software as MATLAB® and Simulink®, and could be enhanced by CAD.

is therefore important that theresearch experience includes collaboration with graduate students and post-doctoral researchersin engineering labs. Since the participants work directly with graduate students and post-doctoralfellows as well as faculty, they learn what graduate and post-graduate work entails, while beingexposed to multiple role models. The program has been mainly successful in meeting thesegoals.

embarking on educational research [1]. The last hurdle inBorrego’s assessment (a very engineer-like construct) was to integrate social scientists intoengineering education research teams. Essentially, her description of this process implies that thesocial scientists will be consultants supporting the efforts of the engineering educators.However, what we found was that our scholarship was improved and our experience moresatisfying when we moved beyond an engineer-consultant relationship to an integratedpartnership. Our research process is similar to those strategies espoused in recent forums andreports on qualitative research in engineering education and the work of social scientists studyingengineering education.
