Structural diversity refers to the demographic representation of students fromdifferent backgrounds. Interactional diversity refers to the frequency and quality of interactionswith diverse peers across numerous campus domains including, but not limited to, campus eventsand residence halls. Classroom diversity refers specifically to learning about diverse peers thatoccurs in formal instructional settings like classrooms, lecture halls, and laboratories.

VirginiaAbstractNontechnical engineering skills are integral to the successful practice of the engineeringprofession. However, the dominant image of engineering rarely evokes ideas of typing pages ofprose. A field that has been adopted into the engineering curriculum to help engage engineeringstudents in higher education is Science, Technology, and Society (STS). As an interdisciplinaryfield, STS offers an active-learning environment to refine nontechnical engineering skills likeproblem-solving and communication. One recent question amongst STS scholars for engineersis: what role will generative AI play in the learning process for written communication? Perhapsone question that has not received as much attention is how this kind of AI could be beneficial inuniversity
