Despite ongoing efforts to improve science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate persistence and success, the attrition ratesamong women and students in underrepresented minority groups have increased over the pastdecade. A recent report suggests that nearly half of college students starting in STEM majors leavethe STEM field before the fourth year of their degree program [13]. Over the years, researchershave developed innovative ways to increase engagement among engineering students

Yet theemphasis on technical competencies sends a powerful message to engineering educators,highlighting the primacy of technical knowledge in a crowded curriculum”.6 The need for thisnew literacy to highlight how one might gauge a sense of social responsibility has beenformalized through two metrics.
