to students being perceived by the community as experts even though many were early in their educational career. This led to ineffective feedback and dialogue amongst collaborators. Indeed, we have noticed that there are inconsistencies between community partners’ perceptions of engineering students’ skills and abilities and the reality that they are young learners who may be novices when it comes to project deployment and partnership/relationship development. This can result in community partners requesting assistance in projects outside of student expertise and putting too much stock in student recommendations.e. Students participating in construction – In traditional engineering service-learning courses it is common for

,rhetorical, and technical communication studies, with a focus on the writing of engineers atdifferent stages of their careers (in industry or academia) in relation to workplace factors (e.g.,[27], [28], [29]). Conclusions from this line shed light on disciplinary genre use, as well ascommunication and writing conventions. Other studies have sought a broader representation ofdifferent literacies, drawing from disciplinary literacy perspectives (e.g., [30], [31], [32]). Theseauthors present some representations of engineers’ literacy practices, attending to the specificdisciplinary nuances Moje mentioned [26].Considering the lack of research on the literacies of HCD, we explored a taxonomy of human-centered engineering design literacy practices as
