. 2 AbstractIn response to the need for a diverse, highly skilled STEM workforce that can workcollaboratively and communicate effectively, colleges of engineering have developed diversity-focused recruitment, retention, and outreach efforts. Many programs have also begun toemphasize technical communication skills. A national organization that integrates these prioritiesis the Engineering Ambassadors Network (EAN), which trains undergraduates to raise awarenessof what engineers do and how they contribute to society. Typical ambassador activities includethe delivery of a presentation and a hands-on activity to middle or high school students.Currently, there are an estimated 634 EAs in the United States

Instead, they experienced engineering design in the role of teachers with thegoal of designing an engineering design curriculum situated in a biological context for theirstudents. Because the teachers had multiple backgrounds and experiences with engineering, butall were trained as science teachers, directed discussion was used to surface ideas and to developkey principles of the EDP such as solving a problem and iterative design.

Over the past decade, therehave been many investigations, specifically by members of both academic community and softwareindustry, into ways to integrate software testing into computer science (CS) and SE curricula.

If a requisite changes for an engineering course,the timeline for degree completion and the ability for students to take a full-time courseand to receive financial aid/maintain their international student status can be affected. If anew track within an existing curriculum is added at the community college level and thefour year school is not informed about this development, the students in such programsmay not get the benefits that are associated with a joint/dual degree program. Anunderstanding that these programs are not initiatives nor driven by grant funding, but thatthey are core to the students and to the colleges involved are essential to the integrity andsustenance of these degree programs
