academics first and everything else last”), in addition to their courses having very little socialcontext. This may be indicative of a typical problem in engineering education – first-yearcourses are interesting and project-based, but then in the second year, all the intense prerequisitesmust be taken, which limits students’ abilities to engage with social issues within or outside theircourses. Additionally, some students chose to be more involved with sororities or sports teams Page 26.643.6rather than volunteer groups, and their schedules did not allow for both activities.Table 2: Demographics of Students Interviewed and EPRA Survey Results

, often linking this to tasks such as calculations, drawings, or mathematics.12-13Being technical is often deemed the most valuable way of being an engineer and is highlyesteemed in the profession. Yet, engineering requires other professional tasks andactivities that are considered social, soft, or applied in nature, such as managing projects,working in teams, or interfacing with clients. Important to note, as well, is that withinengineering, technical and social dualisms are also often presumed to be mutuallyexclusive. The technical side is often thought to be the something that men excel at, whilethe social side is seen as being particularly suited to women, as the result of widespreadcultural stereotypes about masculinity as being connected to

Studies also suggest that introducing students to engineering at a younger agecan be beneficial because it exposes them to the relevance of engineering as a future professionin a wide variety of fields and applications, fosters problem-solving techniques that take time andpractice to develop, and builds confidence in STEM activities [1, 5, 11, 16].

Despite the fact that engineering and scientific knowledge has grown at an astonishing rate overthe past century, engineering still only nominally requires 4 years of training (i.e., a bachelor’s degree) tobe able to enter and operate in the engineering workforce. For comparison, the number of years oftraining needed to practice law has increased from 4 to 7 and to practice medicine has increased from 3 to10 over the same time period. Given the breadth and depth of the technical knowledge students need tomaster, there are very few opportunities to incorporate additional non-technical material into mosttechnical courses, especially the engineering
