, 2024 Sociotechnical Integration as Programmatic Foundation in Engineering: Curriculum Design and ABET Assessment ProtocolsAbstractEngineering education has faced enduring criticism for being overly focused on the narrowlytechnical dimensions of engineering practice, ill preparing engineering graduates for their futurework. “Sociotechnical” approaches to engineering education have arisen as one category ofresponses to this perceived narrowness. This paper reviews our efforts to situate sociotechnicalintegration as the foundation of our new undergraduate design engineering undergraduate degreeprogram, focusing on how we have cast this foundation in both our program’s curriculum andthrough our ABET assessment protocol design and

We find kinship with efforts to create curriculum driven by an ethic of care[6], and also, with the idea of “recasting agreements” [19]. We also acknowledge that engineersin training and in the workforce often encounter situations where they must make decisions orperform tasks that conflict with their personal values [20-21].

examining the use of the design-related practices in the curriculum, there is a distinctionbetween the practices that were used more or less frequently (and generally, weaker ratings interms of importance in the engineering curriculum). The practices used more frequently reflect amore traditional approach, such as design to reflect knowledge of a concept; the engagement ofmultiple criteria; and the general environmental and social impact. Practices used less frequentlyinclude design for an individual challenge, design to address a sociotechnical need, and conceptsof ethics and sustainability integrated within engineering design. These practices engage moresubjectivity; a socio-political bend that instructors in engineering may not be as

U.S. are finally heading the many calls to include sociotechnicalthinking–grappling with issues of power, history, and culture–throughout the undergraduateengineering curriculum. While non-purely-technical topics have historically been relegated toseparate courses, universities are now working to integrate sociotechnical content in coursespreviously considered to be purely technical. Researchers have varying motivations for thisfocus, including to better prepare students for engineering practice, which is inherentlysociotechnical [1]; to increase the sense of belonging of historically excluded students, who aremore likely to be interested in the social aspects [2]; and to create better societal outcomes [3-5].Attempts to disrupt the social
