amount of further technical material we wish we could present to ourstudents. Hence, we acknowledge that to infuse an ambitious array of knowledge and skillsrelated to sustainability and social justice as well as habits of mind like emotional intelligence,critical thinking, universal design, and cultural humility into the curriculum could seem naïve oreven harmful.However, when we consider the evolution of engineering education over the long and the shortterm, we find that what is most critical for educators to impart has always shifted with thedevelopment of technology and its scientific and mathematical toolboxes. In electrical andcomputer engineering, there is much more technical content that was once taught in four-yearprograms, which we
professional [1]. With this in mind, the authors embarked on a (re)vision to anexisting multidisciplinary capstone course to develop a truly integrated approach to writing in thedisciplines [1] with the development of sociotechnical engineers in mind.This paper shares how the authors have found opportunities to meet these professional needs byintegrating a faculty member with a Ph.D. in English and background in writing pedagogy andtechnical communication as a member of the instructional team alongside the course’s existingengineering faculty. We will share the modifications made to the course, the rationale for thosechanges, and some of the preliminary data regarding student perception of the development ofboth their collaborative and technical
follow up of a reflectionsurvey tailored to the specific activity. The research team identifies how these tasks fall into oneof three categories, including why engineers should care about diversity, how to work on diverseteams, and keeping in mind the stakeholders of engineering design problems. The results of thisstudy showed that over the course of the semester, students felt they could create a moreinclusive and understanding culture when working on a diverse team of engineers. With the useof the included activities to encourage and intentionally place students of diverse backgrounds onteams, this research team was able to help students identify how to promote a healthy culturewithin a team.In conclusion, there are feasible paths to implement

show students what thevarious facets of electrical engineering are.In Fig 6(b), it can be seen that students’ perception of the major increased after learning whatelectrical engineering is all about. This may be due to a misunderstanding of what electricalengineering is by those who are not familiar with it. Once students understand what can be doneusing electrical engineering, the interest in the major naturally increases.However, it should be noted that the movements in Fig 6 are very small. This is not surprising as96.6% of students went into the course with a declared major. It would be unreasonable to expectone course to change students’ minds significantly.3.1.3 Learning throughout the courseIn the second and third surveys, students

To address this issue, we implemented an innovativeapproach toward group lab writing in a lab class for 35 junior-level Chemical Engineeringstudents. In this study, individual contributions were worth 30% toward the group-written labreport.
