The main goal is to create multiple opportunities to teach and reinforcesoft skills within the regular technical curriculum in the high schools. This paper discussesthe integration of the soft skills modules into the technical curriculum developed viaexamples, and outlines its potential uses in this engineering department’s curriculumincluding its manufacturing engineering program. The paper concludes with a discussion ofthe implementation of this project and provides some preliminary feedback from theparticipating high schools and reflections of the authors.

Beyond therhetoric of research productivity, facilitating diversity in engineering programs and professionswould help raise individuals’ ethical awareness and commitment to engineering ethics. Previousstudies confirm that individuals from diverse life experiences and cultural backgrounds offervaried perspectives and help create a fertile ground for deeper reflections and perspectivechanges [2]. Students of color tend to be more aware of ethics and moral principles based ontheir lived experiences with social prejudices and inequity (Thoman et al., 2015). Therefore, theywill likely develop a strong ethical stance that challenges the observed

TheCAER approach differs from the way in which engineering students traditionally engage withtraditional professional ethics based on industry standards, honest reporting of data, cost benefittradeoffs, and analysis of case studies when standards or professional codes of practice wereviolated [39].From the above-described body of literature about work-based forms of experiential learning,self-efficacy, STIR, and anticipatory ethical reasoning, a new conceptual framework forSocioTechnical Learning

IntroductionEngineering curriculum frequently focuses on technical, analytical, and decision makingknowledge and skills, evident by the common focus of courses on math and physics principles[1]–[3]. Course problem sets and projects routinely focus on determining variables and solvingequations where there is one “right” answer [4]. However, engineering work is inherently bothtechnical and social [5], [6]. To address major problems of today’s world, engineering studentsneed to develop contextual and cultural competencies, ethical responsibility, and socialengagement knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries[7]–[10].
