The expectation is that this interaction is on the vergeof expanding to other courses and other departments in the College of Engineering. IntroductionIn “Why Johnny Can’t Write, Even Though He Went To Princeton,” the Chronicle ofHigher Education1 highlights the problem of students progressing through theirundergraduate education without developing the writing skills necessary to communicateeffectively in their chosen fields of study. A reduction in general communication skills isan added problem for colleges of engineering who have been under increasing pressurefor many

social implications or social responsibility in engineering. At the implicit level,SDP teams understanding of engineering ethics varied across teams, and it did not directlyinfluence their ethical decision-making. Some SDP teams, however, did demonstrate implicit andbroad understanding of social implications of engineering, particularly when coupled with ethicsexperts, and when the atmosphere was collegial. When it comes to research laboratories,voluntary ethics discussions were rarely present. Based on our results, we suggest a situatedapproach, such as midstream modulation in engineering labs and collaboration with ethicsexperts to improve engineering ethics education programs.

Other findings included a tendency for engineering studentswith an intercultural mindset to be attracted to service-oriented international experiences.Additionally, the researcher’s validated previous research which found that student culturalgrowth is
