dc.description.otherThe effectiveness of designing, building, and maintaining an Engineering solution depends directly on its consequences. However, traditional Engineering curricula do not consider consequences that reach beyond Exact Sciences and include, for example, social, legal, ethical, economical, and environmental aspects. A modern Computer Engineering curriculum needs, as part of its mandatory courses, a basic introduction to Humanities, which we refer to as Context Awareness. On the other hand, in Brazilian curricula, such introduction is usually given in the form of a single Philosophy or Sociology course, isolated in the first semester with no discernible connection to other courses. Furthermore, this course is often disregarded or deliberately considered less important by faculty members or academic coordinators. The overall attitude creates a culture of apathy that extrapolates to Humanities as a whole. Alas, Humanities should be seen as a discipline that helps students to critically understand the context and support the choice of final goals. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the Social Networks course, offered to sixth semester students of a Computer Engineering curriculum. The learning goals of this course are: interpreting social problems from the point of view of social mechanisms, translating sociological concepts to graph theory and graph algorithms, discussing social themes with support from data analysis made with computational tools, and formulating and testing hypotheses that explain phenomena observed in a network. This set of goals represent our intention of using tools from the Social Networks field to frame Sociology into a respectful and motivating form that integrates seamlessly into the Engineering framework while significantly contributing to Context Awareness. We describe in the paper the assessment criteria and the classroom dynamics, which usually start by introducing social problems, focus on social mechanisms that explain the problems, model the mechanisms in the context of graph theory or graph algorithms, and finally propose a simulation using the Python language and the Jupyter Notebook platform.pt_BR
