Social software is any e-learning tool that is designed for collaborative purposes and introduced to help with user self-determination of content generation. They traditionally come in the form of wikis, blogs, orforums [6], [9]–[11]. Bernsteiner [6] describes social software as follows “Social software emerged and came into use in 2002 and is generally attributed to Clay Shirky (2003).

In both Confucianand Marxist tradition, it is difficult to find exact counterparts of these concepts. For instance, thecurrent ABET guidelines include eleven learning outcomes that must be met for students in anyengineering degree program. One of these, criterion 3.f, more specifically states that graduates Page 24.497.10must have “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.”24 Interestingly, theCEEAA’s general criteria include a list of required “graduate outcomes

While this paper does not attempt to defend the status quo,it is an attempt to propose a conceptual framework for the engineering graduate. Engineering programs are typically some of the most tightly packed undergraduatedegrees in Canadian Universities, and are filled with a great number of required courses, givingstudents few options for exploring their personal lines of interest. In a four-year degree program,there is no room to put additional course requirements on students without moving to a
