This integration is viewed as an essential step toproduce engineering graduates with skills that make them competitive in the global workforce.Typically, the courses in the ECE curriculum are taught as discrete units in relative isolation ofeach other. This approach does not effectively deliver the critical-thinking competencies

, 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.
