Formative analysis and improvement of sociotechnical thinking in undergraduate engineering design courses

Jenifer Blacklock | jblacklo@mines.edu

This NSF-funded project aims to improve how students learn about the integration of technical and non-technical considerations in engineering. Starting with data analysis from the prior year, the student will have the opportunity to directly impact undergraduate engineering design courses, learn more about how professors plan teaching for various learning outcomes, and further explore the concept of sociotechnical thinking in engineering.
