Recognition of the value of the social sciences in an engineering curriculum has become more pronounced in recent years, prompted by calls to educate interdisciplinary engineers with the needed competencies to tackle modern-day complex grand challenges. A key assertion of this chapter is that exposing interdisciplinary engineers to the language, theoretical lenses, and methodologies of the social sciences is a valuable approach to cultivating their sensitivity to the social implications of their activities and decisions. For interdisciplinary engineers to fully benefit from the social sciences when solving complex sociotechnical challenges, they must be provided with foundational knowledge in the discipline that helps them understand how various social actors interact with technology and how problems arising from this interaction can be addressed. In this chapter, considerations and requirements for designing mandatory social science courses in an interdisciplinary engineering education are discussed.
