These sites of scholarly exchange are often wherewe explore concepts that are fuzzy or “loose” and through these conversations, generate newunderstandings or new directions.The Canadian Engineering Education Association / Association Canadienne de l’éducation engénie (CEEA-ACÉG) is a national organization that brings together engineering educators andresearchers at an

States.Communication in engineering continues to be an important element of engineering education,especially in terms of future employability. Universities are continually measured, ranked, andevaluated for performance-based funding based on their students’ employment numbersfollowing graduation. However, a divide exists between the level of communication competencyemployers expect from recent graduates versus their actual competency. Despite over twodecades of Communication (and English) faculty efforts, extensive research, and grantinvestment by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in engineering communication educationsince EC2000, the calls for universities to teach communication competence to engineeringundergraduates has only grown louder.At its core

Much of this disengagement is attributed to mindsets ([2]: centrality of military andcorporate organizations, uncritical acceptance of authority, technical narrowness, positivism andthe myth of objectivity) and ideologies ([1]: technical-social dualism, depoliticization,meritocracy) that create a socio-technical divide that encourages many students to marginalizesocial issues related
