STEP participants take courses in chemistry (lecture + lab), calculus, andengineering fundamentals.STEP 2016 consisted of 63 incoming first-year students accepted to the CoE.

greater than what is currently required by accreditingbodies and addressed in most engineering curriculum.IntroductionAcademic programs for students seeking careers in fields with strong discipline-basedknowledge requirements traditionally focus heavily on technical expertise. “Engineers have beenvalued for their technical expertise for centuries. This expertise has often distinguishedengineers' role as civil servants who design and create goods, infrastructure, and processes forthe needs of humanity” [1]. But employers are making a new set of demands on the workers theyhire; they are seeking competency in both technical and professional skills. The need for technical employees to possess professional skills has been discussed overthe

experience of teaching it for the first time during the 2017-2018 academic year, and plans for the future.IntroductionIn 1997, ABET rolled out the Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), which introduced for the firsttime an understanding of social context as a requirement for engineering education. This is anacknowledgement that engineering practice does not occur in a vacuum, but must be responsiveto the various economic, political, and cultural forces around it. In the years since EC2000,many engineering programs have struggled to meet this criteria in a meaningful way [1]. Thereasons are primarily two-fold. First, the addition of so-called “soft skills” into the curriculum inno way reduces the amount of technical content that is also necessary to

an unquestioned assumption that certain ways of knowing -- explicitly dominantepistemologies that involve specific mathematical procedures and scientific processes -- arerace-, gender-, and culture-free. In reality, education inherently prioritizes and privileges certainbodies of knowledge while marginalizing and excluding others. Within engineering, colonial,White, heterosexual, and male knowledge has historically been privileged over other ways ofknowing. Little recognition appears to exist that the ethnocentricity and masculinity of theengineering curricula affects problem definition and accepted methods of problem solving,teaching, and assessment [1].

We conclude by providing practical ideas for educators that are suggested by ourdata.IntroductionAn engineer’s professional duties typically demand a substantial amount of technical writing [1],[2], and writing plays a role in hire, promotion, and long-term success [3]–[5]. In both industryand academia, writing provides an engineer access to his or her discourse community [6].While employers, educators, and ABET agree that today’s engineer needs to write well, oftenundergraduate students don’t seem to be on the same page.

To do so, we analyze how the LAs notice and consider responding to issuesof equitable teamwork and participation, as exhibited in three related activities: (i) an in-classroleplay, (ii) observing and diagnosing teamwork troubles (TTs) in the engineering designteams, and (iii) imagining possible instructional responses to those troubles, and students’possible reactions.

Technical communication (TC) is one of these common threads. We believe thesequence of instruction related to various forms of technical communication (written, oral, anddrawing skills) should intentionally develop students’ abilities so that by graduation they areprepared for a professional engineering environment.Several research studies have identified the gap between engineering students’ writingexperiences and the expectations of professional writing in the engineering workplace [1], [2

learning objectives for the course is to teach students to seek out and draw on theperspectives of people who have a stake in the problems they choose to define and address.

Whileserious encounters with stakeholders have been a topic of increasing centrality within technicalfields [2] [3] and understood to be core to the training for engineers and applied scientists [4] [5],this work is by no means simple. Further, as these activities require skills students may neithercome to college familiar with nor practice in multiple courses, courses like Design I experiencesignificant pressure to both cover a great deal of ground and do so in ways that are accessible

How then do students learn the subtle,foundational work of asking research questions, producing and interpreting evidence, anddrawing evidence-based conclusions? How can educators encourage and improve this learning?One valuable way to study students’ everyday decision-making about research is to watch howgraduate and undergraduate students work together to produce and assess evidence inlaboratories, in formal or informal graduate/undergraduate partnerships that we call GradUPs.We draw from the theory of situated learning in
