Native Hawaiian and Pacific Island serving institutionAbstractThere is a need for public policy to be integrated in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education as it brings policy and social relevance into STEM classes withthe potential to increase engagement and success of students with STEM content. From theperspective of developing future engineers and scientists, an early emphasis on linkages to publicpolicy and societal issues can promote student buy-in, and prepare for future policy andadvocacy work that are, increasingly, a component of scientific and engineering careers. Fromthe perspective of the science and engineering community, early exposure to the responsivenessand integration of policy into STEM will increase

qualitative interview datawith individual faculty, which constitutes a fruitful avenue for future research.Nevertheless, some generalizations can be made based on the data at hand. First, there is noevidence of stand-alone civil engineering courses being offered on accessibility. A scan ofuniversity-level information and communication technology programs similarly found anabsence of separate courses dedicated to accessibility, which the authors concluded indicated alack of faculty interest, student interest, or perceived need for expertise on the topic [11]. Giventhe amount of coursework required in typical civil engineering undergraduate programs, theabsence of individual courses is not surprising. Both students and faculty are often resistant
