mathematics and science is absolutely necessary; a good knowledge ofwritten and spoken English is a further requirement” [6, p. 188]. In following decades,engineering educators addressed this need by including courses on technical writing in theircurricula. But some educators felt that approach was insufficient and they debated whetherwriting courses should be elective or required. For example, Davis, a professor of English at theAir Force Institute of Technology who surveyed 245 professional engineers in 1975 on theimportance of technical writing in their careers, summarized the situation at the time: “Althoughtechnical writing is coming to be accepted as a respectable course offering in engineeringprograms, it is still regarded as an ‘add-on’ by

historically minoritized backgrounds.The synergy between GenAI and AEI is particularly potent in its ability to create empatheticeducational tools. Through GenAI, educational content can be dynamically generated to matchthe learning pace and style of each student, while AEI ensures that the emotional nuances of thestudent’s responses are taken into account, offering encouragement, adjusting difficulty levels, orproviding additional explanations in real-time. This dual capability facilitates a learningenvironment where technology truly understands and reacts to the holistic needs of the learner,embodying human factor engineering principles. Such a symbiotic relationship between GenAIand AEI not only enhances the effectiveness of educational

drivers of forced displacement. Humanitarian agencies working in at-riskcommunities, are often in need of not just cash and medical supplies, but also require trainedprofessionals who are comfortable with technology, can guide innovation, and can provideguidance and training to others in the appropriate use of technology [4]. Both emerging andlong-term humanitarian crises have created an endless demand for engineers who are willing andcapable of channeling their skills towards working to alleviate the suffering of those displacedfrom their homes [5]. While the demand only continues to grow, the supply of such individualsremains limited, in part due to the limited training opportunities to engage with these issues.Despite the opportunity and need

in 2016 which was50 percentage points larger than for the lowest SES students (28 percent) [5]. Since a school and/orfamily obligation requires low-income students to work, they cannot engage well in school andafford engagement activities like football games. The underrepresentation of low-SES graduatesmeans that those graduates are missing out on the financial and professional benefits of jobopportunities available through STEM. This underrepresentation also impacts the overall numbersof STEM professionals in the U.S [6].
