This paper outlines how the Division of Technology, Culture andCommunication at SEAS plans to refashion its introductory writing and speaking class (TCC 101)to meet these challenges. Our goals are simply put:--accomplish more teaching with fewer resources--improve the quality of our instruction in writing and public speaking--promote students’ awareness of modern social, economic, and political issues relating to engineering practice--increase students’ ethical awareness--decrease the attrition rate of first-year students (chiefly a problem of transfers into UVA’s liberal arts college)At present, TCC 101 is a labor

We place a special focus on concepts that shed light on the motivating factorsthat would lead a STEM entrepreneur to take interest in using their knowledge to address racialinequities and create positive social change in their communities.The central concept in this framework is Equity Ethics, developed and created by Dr. Ebony O.McGee.

Further, case studies offer an opportunity forinterdisciplinary discussions centered on human dignity and justice goals [8] and likewisedevelop empathy for the users impacted by the project. Empathy is increasingly beingrecognized for the central role it may play in connecting crucial inter- and intrapersonal skillswith enhanced abilities to understand and productively work in multidisciplinary environmentswith diverse stakeholder groups [9].

For example, the current/voltage of a RC circuit could be applied from the perspectiveof a power side-channel attack.The course can further be used to develop and evaluate soft skills and the students’ ability toapply engineering knowledge to culturally relevant topics. Presentations, in-class discussions, andwritten reports prepare students for the workplace where both soft and technical skills arerequired. Additionally, as discussions of ethics are integral to a course in security, the course alsoinvolves professional and ethical responsibilities. The combination of soft skills and ethicalconsideration included in the course give faculty a foundation to do ABET assessment to go alongwith the technical concepts.In this
