The 26 publications that did directly addressHC fell within a date range of 2001 to 2020, with the heaviest cluster (18) occurring in the pastfive years: There were 4 publications in 2015, 3 in 2016, 5 in 2018, 4 in 2019, and 2 in 2020,together accounting for the majority of all ASEE publications in this area.We read each of the 26 publications directly addressing HC and coded them according to thefollowing criteria: the role and context of HC in the analysis; whether the influence of HC onengineering education was described as primarily negative, positive, or neutral; and whether HCwas related to engineering ethics education (and, if so, how).

strongertechnical communication skills. In the early 2000s, engineering professional societies reportedunderdeveloped writing and presentation skills in entry-level job candidates while, at the sametime, stressing the time spent in a typical engineer’s day on communication tasks [1, 2]. At thesame time, ABET adopted new criteria for evaluating and accrediting engineering programs [3].The criteria focused on developing “soft skills” including teamwork, ethics, and effectivecommunication, among others. The importance of soft skills has only grown in the interveningyears. Among ABET’s student outcomes as listed in 2019-2020 is “an ability to apply written,oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments;and an
thinking integrated into the course. In theone exception (Fall 2019, First Year course at University B), the research team member/co-author gave two guest lectures on sociotechnical thinking in the course. The courses span threeyears of a typical engineering curriculum and represent both introductory/project-based coursesand a core engineering science course to facilitate understanding across a breadth of studentexperiences.To protect students, the semi-structured focus groups were conducted by two of this paper’s co-authors not teaching the specific classes from which participants were recruited. A secondmember of the research team, either a student researcher or faculty member, observed each focusgroup. Focus groups were recorded and later

The details of thesesurveys and results of coding responses are discussed in [37].In order to explore more deeply the themes arising in students’ survey responses, and to betterunderstand their personal and group feelings, perceptions and opinions, we performed focusgroup interviews with engineering students who had completed WGS 250. Facilitated focusgroups have been shown to be effective at offering access to “participants’ own language,concepts and concerns” in “social contexts for meaning-making,” comprising a feministmethodology appropriate to our research questions and goals [38].The focus group portion of our study was exempted from requiring approval by our institution’sIRB after review in summer 2019

, likely have implications forengineering students’ interest in continuing in engineering and professionals’ plans to stay intheir engineering jobs. Indeed, persons with disabilities are equally likely to enter engineeringmajors, but graduate with engineering degrees at lower rates. Similarly, only 65% of personswith disabilities who have an engineering or science degree are employed in STEM, versus 85%of persons without disabilities [9]. I thus examine students’ and professionals’ intentions to stayin engineering in the future.MethodsEngineering Students: ASEE Diversity & Inclusion SurveyThe ASEE Diversity and Inclusion Survey (ASEE-DIS) includes 1,729 students enrolled in anengineering program in one of eight US colleges or universities. 4 A
