Byteaching students the problem-solving strategies that are used by their professional counterparts,the gap between what students are taught in school and what is expected of them in theworkplace may be lessened.The purpose of this paper is to describe how agile ethnography [4], [5] was successfully used inour research project to examine workplace literacy practices and habits of mind employed byeight engineers in their workplaces over a period of three years. The overarching purpose of theproject was to develop models of disciplinary literacy instruction [6] and habits of mind [7] inengineering, both of which are potential methods for teaching students the knowledge, skills, andstrategies that may prepare them for an engineering career
skills. Yetthe social skills become vital for becoming a hirable engineer [27]. The hierarchy of knowledgebecomes a secondary factor where engineering ethics becomes important. Faulkner’sethnography of programmers found that engineering profession identities pervade a strongdualism that favors the technical while diminishing the social [28], [29].One of the more jarring aspects of the above quote, from the electrical engineering student,comes from the student’s uncertainty about whether ethics come about, which they doubt insome sense. The perception that the university’s focus is to produce technically-trainedengineers, not necessarily socially-minded engineers, comes through in the quote. Similarly,another student notes the aspect of their

[1] as Engagement, Capacity, and Continuity. Thefocus on the whole student arises from understanding that improvements to simply improvestandards, curriculum, and teaching practices are not going to be sufficient in recruiting,retaining, and developing a diverse population of engineers [1]. The Institute for BroadeningParticipation [2] emphasizes the need for intentional design in various aspects of education tohelp students participate and succeed in engineering
