There is also evidence that programmaticorientations (e.g., entrepreneurship, business, and community engagement) affect students’ethical perceptions and decision-making [16]. In addition, research on a service-learning designprogram found that a human-centered approach utilized in that program helped students orient toethical considerations, motives, and decisions, yet the students tended to narrowly focus onethical concerns linked to interactions with users while struggling to explicitly see the salience ofethics for their day-to-day design work [17].Previous research continues to reveal novel insights about engineering students’ understandingsof ethics and social

Engineering programs hear from their advisory boards and professionalorganizations of the importance of improving the written communication of their graduates[1], [2]. Educating students to become engineering writers, however, cannot happen in anyone course. Given the complexities of disciplinary writing and the number of audiences astudent will be communicating with once they enter the profession, a single course in writingis not adequate for students to develop as writers.
