Corporate officers and high-level managers acknowledge the importance of employingengineers with leadership competency. Technical skills can be leveraged by engineeringleaders. For these reasons and others, employers seek engineering graduates who can leadupon graduation. Reassurance can be established when it is well-understood the colleges anduniversities have assumed an integral role in developing leaders.

This change would lead to morepractical applications of research, greater diversity in perspectives and expertise, and a moreprofound impact on the engineering education landscape.

At best, specific flaws may be triaged. Rarely is sciencecommunication integrated into a curriculum that addresses specific needs of science trainees inreal time.

Furthermore, in addition to these structural barriers, sociotechnical content does not bydefault include a justice perspective. As such, an intentional focus on justice is necessary whendesigning pedagogical changes toward more holistic engineering education.In response to these challenges and needs, we were funded by the NSF to conduct a research andpedagogical project in which we are integrating justice components throughout a first-yearcomputing for engineers course.
