Then the thirteen learningoutcomes that were evaluated in this research are: 1. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering. 2. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data 3. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. 4. An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams 5. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. 6. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. 7.

ILTM offers an intensive two-summer program for twenty students fromengineering, management, and accounting that combines theory and real-life experience. Thefirst portion of the program is a six-week on-campus session during the summer after studentscomplete their sophomore year. During this session, students are introduced to issues such asglobalization, ethics, communication skills, critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership throughin-classroom case studies and discussions, field trips, and a group project.

. Such historical thinking is critical to develop engineers capable ofresisting “the tyranny of the urgent”, submit to “the democracy of the dead”, and resist the anti-historical influence of social media and neo-marxist indoctrination [21], [22].Case studies in civil engineering education are often based on large scale projects that wereground-breaking in design or resulted in major failure. Commonly seen examples include thecollapses of the walkway in Kansas City Hyatt Regency or the Tacoma Narrows Bridge [23],[24]. A variety of assignment and assessment models exist in literature to direct students to focuson technical or ethical content [16], [23]–[28].

For this project,professional skills, often referred to as “soft skills,” include a variety of competencies such ascommunication, teamwork, professional and ethical responsibility, and more as determined byABET and delineated in the results of this paper. Unlike technical skills, professional skills takemore time to develop and sharpen [3]. Additionally, they are not as amenable to course-basedlearning often due to their “untestable” nature.

Nonetheless, many engineers do engage in sociotechnicalthinking in practice [12], [13], suggesting that engineers do eventually gain competence with thiskind of thinking. However, how they
