She is involved in a group of students working to increase social justice focus in the school’s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. This has lead to her current research on the topic. She is also involved with the Society of Environmental Engineers on campus as the Vice President. Outside of school, she works for the Central Coast Water Board as a student assistant. Tessa is planning on staying at Cal Poly for their master’s program where she will continue to research the effects of integrating greater focus on social justice awareness into engineering curriculum.Ms. Claire Katherine Anovick, California Polytechnic State

. Immigration is a multi-facet life event with numerous unknown variables. The regularimmigration process does not take place at one night, rather it requires short-term and long-termplanning: planning for learning the native language of the destination country, dealing with thefact that you are going to leave behind your country, your relatives, and your close friends,planning for selling your belongings and looking for a place to live your new life at, quitting yourcurrent job and finding a job (temporary or permanent) at the destination country, and so on. Inthis volatile process, some marriages would even end in divorce if one partner does not supportthe idea of immigration. Imagine if children are involved in this maze. Research scholars in

several cases, more than one EvaluateUR- CURE outcome component supports the course rubric. This suggests that EvaluateUR- CURE can be of value in helping a student better understand what behavior(s) defines the course rubric and discern what aspect of the rubric might be the underlying cause of the lower score. This awareness can be an important motivation for the student to plan how they might want to address a particular area that needs attention.In sum, the initial comparison of data from this pilot implementation of EvaluateUR-CURE ispromising and we intend to continue our efforts. If proven useful, EvaluateUR-CURE has thepotential to be adopted by other engineering/engineering technology departments offering

Due to this student interest in aerospace, a new course aimed at second-and third-year studentswas created at the 200-level with few pre-requisites (only first semester physics with or withoutcalculus) in order to attract undergraduates from a breadth of STEM disciplines.

engineers were either disinclined or unable to teach it.Technical communication indeed broke ground in the area of engineering written communicationdecades ago with Seltzer’s (1983) study on the composing processes of one engineer at work(Ford & Riley, 2003). Prior to Seltzer’s study, however, the technical communication fieldactually knew very little about the written communication practices of engineers. Technicalcommunication experts knew “what scientists and engineers [wrote] at work” (p. 325) but theydid not research how engineers went about planning, drafting, and revising texts.

According to Dr. Twenge, iGens aremore pessimistic and less confident than previous generations [7]. They are more willing towork hard in class and not question the grades. They are hesitant to talk in class because they donot want to say something wrong. Having grown up with the internet, they are used to findinginformation themselves. They want professors to keep class interesting, keeping videos, etc. tothree minutes maximum. This is important when planning class time for iGens. Typical iGensdo not
