Civil Engineering Body ofKnowledge for the 21st Century outlines the outcomes that “define the knowledge, skills, andattitudes necessary to enter the practice of civil engineering at the professional level in the 21stcentury.”3 One of the professional outcomes listed is Communication; the document cites theneed for engineers to be able to “plan, compose, and integrate the verbal, written, virtual, andgraphical communication of a project to technical and non-technical audiences.”3In addition, ABET accredited universities are well versed in the necessity of teachingcommunication skills within their curriculum, since one of the required student outcomes is “anability to communicate effectively.”4 As mentioned above, the civil engineering

While the course discussed here is only a small start, looking to the workof others, there are opportunities for greater integration of topics such as ethics, sustainability, andsocial justice into core engineering courses. 7 Students at this institution currently have access to achapter of Engineers Without Borders USA.

As aresult of participation in this program, students report that they develop skills in leadership,communication, and project planning, as well as an increased resolve to pursue a degree inengineering4.

According to Dr. Twenge, iGens aremore pessimistic and less confident than previous generations [7]. They are more willing towork hard in class and not question the grades. They are hesitant to talk in class because they donot want to say something wrong. Having grown up with the internet, they are used to findinginformation themselves. They want professors to keep class interesting, keeping videos, etc. tothree minutes maximum. This is important when planning class time for iGens. Typical iGensdo not

Wicked problems are ambiguous, interrelated andrequire complex problem-scoping and solutions that are not amenable with traditional and linearstrategic planning and problem-solving orientations [2].As design thinking provides an approach to solve complex problems that occur in organizationalcultures [3], we argue that these wicked problems of engineering education cultures might bebest understood and resolved through design thinking. As Elsbach and Stigliani contend, “theeffective use of design thinking tools in organizations had a profound effect on organizationalculture” [3, p. 2279].However, not all organizational cultures support

Littleattention was given to anticipating how changing the course from optional to mandatory wouldaffect student attitudes, beliefs, or motivations in Y2, in part due to the necessity of makingcourse planning and scheduling decisions for Y2 just a few weeks after the conclusion of the Y1pilot.

In this section, we describe literature relevant tosuch behavior.One of the ways we conceptualize sociotechnical thinking is within the engineering habits ofmind, which are defined as the values, attitudes, and skills held by engineers [9]. Prior researchin engineering education has endeavored to identify engineering habits of mind and methods forteaching them. However, there does not seem to be a clear consensus about the most promisingways to address them in the classroom. This is especially true for habits of mind related

We as instructors will be more successful if we areprepared to accept students as they are, and design courses that assume, welcome, (and perhapsreveal,) the many different kinds of motivations that are undoubtedly present. We hasten to addthat we are not in opposition to well-posed post-positivist studies of student motivation bydemographic, and in fact believe that this approach may be strongly justified as a component ofintersectional research toward inclusion and culture change.

Students could also identify alternate sources ofknowledge that would be useful to solving the larger homelessness problem “(e.g., social policy,urban planning, nutrition science, distributive economics)” [17]. Furthermore, they could identifywhat assumptions need to be challenged (e.g., what percentage of homeless people are adults vs.children, veterans vs. non-veterans, or how many actually own a coat that provides sufficientwarmth).

Now What?”MethodsTo explore student capacities for building their own self-concept, learning to develop meaningfuland rewarding relationships, and maturing their capacity for deep learning, we relied on existingwork for the development of self-authorship in the intrapersonal, interpersonal and cognitivedomains, synthesized into a rubric (see Table III).We selected four students who had completed our series of seminar courses, three of whom wereengineering majors, to trace longitudinally, comparing their reflections at the end of the programto earlier work in their
