engineering. Among the courses, we identify differences in the extent to which theclasses of students: 1) improved in defining CSR and identifying historical trends in itsdevelopment; 2) broadened their understanding of stakeholders to include oppositional groups;3) believed that CSR would be relevant to their careers as engineers; and 4) considered thattraining in CSR had enhanced their interest in engineering ethics more broadly. We offerpreliminary thoughts on the main causes of those differences, including course content andcontext, instructor background, and length and depth of the CSR modules. Finally, we concludeby tying our research back to the existing work on engineering students’ attitudes and learningabout social responsibility to

interpretcommunication skills as a means of transferring information from engineer to client, rather thanother audiences and the importance of teaching others [11].It is clear that engineers can no longer succeed on technical skills alone and that they mustunderstand how to collaborate, communicate, and give and receive feedback in order to thrive intheir careers [6]. In order to support engineering graduates to meet this goal, a network ofschools has created the Engineering Ambassadors (EA) Program. Each school has a programthat trains students to achieve excellence in communication as well as to appreciate both givingand receiving critique. This paper outlines the approach at one of the EA-affiliated schools tocreate a course where these skills are taught

education ofengineers. ABET accreditation requires “an ability to communicate effectively” as a generallearning outcome for engineering students.7 Communication and other interpersonal skills canmake or break the career of an engineer. As J. Ben O’Neal notes, “most engineers are limited intheir career not by a lack of technical knowledge, but by an inability to reason verbally,communicate their ideas to others, and furnish leadership.” 8Perhaps the most important of communications skills for students is writing. Writing is theprocess through which students think on paper, explore ideas, raise questions, attempt solutions,uncover processes, build and defend arguments, brainstorm, introspect, and figure out what isgoing on. 9 Writing organizes

Nearly a decade ago, the document Changing the Conversation [1] synthesized the“image” problem faced by the field of engineering, and designed a series of solution “messages”that were found to be effective in piquing the interest of diverse groups of middle and highschool students. One of the calls to action in the document was for engineering outreach groupsto meet with K-12 students and to frame their visits using the Changing the Conversationmessages.

We intuitively understand that when a learner valuescontent—that is, the student finds it useful, important, or interesting—the learner is motivated tosucceed in learning tasks. Psychologists refer to this phenomenon as “task value motivation”,and though it is but one of a constellation of learning motivation factors9, research suggests thatstudents with high task value use deeper cognitive strategies to succeed10,11.

The work described in this current paper focuses on this intersectionbetween a change in pedagogy and students’ engineering identities.Recent research proposes both quantitative and qualitative ways to measure engineering identity.For example, Godwin developed a survey to measure engineering identity, with a focus on threeconstructs: recognition as an engineer, interest in engineering, and performance/competence inengineering [25].
