for future iterations of this module and adaption to otherinstructors’ classrooms.INTRODUCTIONAs defined by Merriam-Webster, engineering is “the application of science and mathematics bywhich the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people” (1).The technical nature of this definition continues into the canon shaping the engineeringcurriculum. While engineering education has traditionally focused solely on the technicalskillset, there is a growing industry and academic demand for engineers who possess social andglobal values to better align with the changing industry (2) (3) (4) (5). Terminology such as‘socio-technical’ engineering is becoming more common, as is the blending of the social with

This transition to a higher education institution can be particularly difficult for thosefrom small rural communities because of the larger degree of difference between their hometownand the typical university.The study of rural students poses a unique challenge for researchers. There is no standarddefinition of “rural.” The United States government has six different definitions of rural thatcounties and communities can be categorized in depending on population, distance from ametropolitan center, geographical features or level of economic and industrial development [11].Additionally, rural regions and populations can have vastly different social and

economic “stagflation” during the rest of the 70s brought engineering educators to shift theirattention to a perceived crisis in U.S. industrial productivity. Given the intensive work requiredto set up a PSI course, few faculty members from research universities (and from universitieswith high teaching loads) were willing (or able) to give PSI a try. The situation only grew worseduring the 1980s, as the concern about productivity transformed into a broader discourse about“national competitiveness,” and the way that engineering research was touted as a way for thenecessary transition to a “high tech” economy. Even at UT Austin, it became less fashionable forany faculty to express a strong interest in teaching.PSI did continue to be employed at UT

Oneinteresting comment came from an external student, who thought that it was to “think moreof the soft side or ‘care bear’ side of being a professional, rather than justtechnical/maths/science” which is a common conception among engineering students (andcoincidentally some academics)[25]. This conception, though, does not mirror those of theengineering industry or the profession[26, 27], who regard such skills as communication,teamwork and professionalism as some of the most important skills engineers need topossess.
