theirfuture professional lives may unfold largely online [12].How is EC changing and what capacities do engineering students need to build?Early-career engineers will need to be well positioned to affect change, negotiate solutions, andunderstand stakeholder perspectives remotely, collaboratively, and documented in real-time.Advances in virtual reality suggest that remote, collaborative work will continue to benormalized. As these technological innovations advance, social and behavioral science cancontribute to our understanding of best practices for teaching Engineering Communication (EC).Additionally, EC training also presents a growth opportunity for adult engineering learners whomay be uncomfortable with technology, creating developmental
