One notable researcher who spans these decades is John Heywood, whose“Engineering literacy for non-engineers K-12” argues that the non-engineering public must cometo appreciate the potential and the limitations of engineering, to situate that understanding withinsome ethical framework.1 He extends this work into a more-detailed explication of engineeringliteracy, worth replicating in whole: Engineering literacy requires that we understand how individual’s [sic], organizations and society interact with technology, and this requires an

The Pavlis Institutebroadens students’ horizons beyond a traditional STEM (science, technology, engineering, andmathematics) education. While undergraduate degrees in engineering, the natural sciences, or otherSTEM fields might offer a student excellent career prospects, they often lack instruction oncommunication and leadership skills. This leaves students with an excellent understanding of their fieldbut a lack of preparation for leadership roles. Even though
