As the description from theUniversity of Alberta illustrates, STS is fairly new, an “emerging field of academic study.” Thedefinition used by MIT captures a central aspect of the identity of STS: it has emerged to addressa distinctive set of historical circumstances that MIT characterizes as “an unprecedented andmomentous integration of science, technology, and society.” This sense of responsiveness to thehistorical moment is shared by most researchers and educators in the field of STS. The MITdescription also emphasizes the relevance of STS to the contemporary world, asserting that STSis “crucial to understanding major events of our time (war and conflict, the economy, health, theenvironment) and to addressing

Curiosity is essential inengineering education for fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and lifelong learning skillsrequired to face 21st-century issues [1], [2], [3].

Leadership strategies that may feel uncomfortable to undergraduate students will become increasingly relevant as they gain experience with organizational contexts outside of the university classroom, but it can be overwhelming for them to wait until they leave university to learn these skills. Two historically popular strategies for integrating workplace learning into engineering education are semester long co-op terms and 16-month internships.

Furthermore, theauthors call for higher levels of faculty engagement with, and support of, diverse learner styles,toward building diversified teams of problem-solvers. The authors push against the traditionalrhetoric of diversity as an end in itself, and advocate for statistically balanced representation inthe student population and attention to diverse learning styles. By examining the ABET EC 2000 Criteria, Smith [5] concludes that the proposed criteria willbe difficult to achieve by certain students unless current engineering curriculums andpedagogical approaches are radically restructured.

Whilethis viewpoint has merit, emphasizing salary may trivialize other, more significantbenefits of the higher education process. Behavioral scientists classify thought processes into cognitive and affective domains[2]. The cognitive domain includes higher order thought processes such as logic andreasoning and is the primary (and in many cases, the only) target of engineering curricula.The affective domain includes attitudes, values, and self-concept

However, what became clear during thecourse of the project was that a much less formal and less defined group of staff met (and continuesto meet) on an ongoing basis in the staff cafeteria.
