offering possibilities for systematically preparing engineers toenable more effective technological action.Bridging the Curriculum-Workplace Gap: Another Enduring Challenge © American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 4 2024 ASEE Annual ConferenceEstablishing intellectual coherence among all relevant knowledge streams through a socialfoundations approach also has the potential to address one of the most perennial problems inengineering education: the disjunction between the capabilities engineering curriculasystematically develop and those that students need to function effectively in practice

Briefly, one notable change is the formation of identity in our population. For example, without a device, previous generations where able to formulate their sense of identity mostly from a center of family structure, social structures like religious

that are embedded in how students train in the field and practice of nuclear engineering.We present here an analysis of embedded value systems in core textbooks typically used inundergraduate and graduate nuclear engineering studies in the US, specifically looking at what isconsidered essential to being a nuclear engineer. Key themes discussed are engineering asproblem solving, the relevance of multidisciplinarity, and the authoritative nature of knowledge.The analysis considers the context in which the textbooks were written and how the embeddedworldview found in the textbook shapes the current landscape of nuclear engineering education,research, and practice. We analyze what nuclear engineering students are implicitly taught abouttheir roles
