purposes reported an enhanced learning experience at aChinese public university. Further, Hurst, Wallace, and Nixon [3] surveyed undergraduatestudents and concluded that students believe social interactions increased their enjoyment oflearning, interest in topics, and level of responsiveness. Beyond academic success, engineers ofthe 21st century must effectively engage with peers [7], and as noted by Passow [7], teamworkand communication are among the most valuable skills in the engineering industry. Byresearching these benefits, educators can capture and incentivize the positive attributes ofstudents’ interactions. Further, such research often requires methods, like SNA, forcharacterizing interactions of the research participants.Social Network

connections between their educational experiences and theircurrent professional lives in a vivid and relatable way. Furthermore, this project shifts thediscussion about the education-practice misalignment beyond a critique of graduates' lack ofprofessional skills: it should also be regarded as problematic when there is a gap between freshgraduates’ and employers’ expectations.In addition to this education-practice misalignment, similar tensions have been observed betweenpersonal goals and professional realities in both academic (e.g. [9]) and public media (e.g. [10]),especially when students (in fact, people in general) feel the need to weigh their job optionsbetween those that are meaningful to them and those that are not (but which may be

improvements to theengineering education system are needed to overcome such barriers and allow widespreadteaching of social justice topics in engineering curricula. The United Nations (UN)’s 2030Agenda for Sustainable Development emphasizes the need to defeat poverty and embrace socialjustice for all humanity [7]. This agenda further underscores the need for fostering sociotechnicalthinking among future generations of engineers so that they can tackle the global societal andenvironmental challenges that have more severe consequences on marginalized communities.Interest and efforts to integrate social justice into engineering curricula have increased in recentyears. For example, in 2019, 117 American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE

first semester, we wereunsure of how to work together on technical reports because everyone had had differentexperiences in other courses. If other courses gave insight into how reports and groups work incapstone courses, the initial shock of capstone could have been avoided.”⁴Current capstone students have also identified the deficiencies in the writing instruction theyhave received. To graduate, all students are required to take two writing courses: a first-yearcomposition course (FYC) and a 200-level writing course. At each level the courses are taught asstand-alone writing courses, and they include students whose majors differ widely. Students aretaught general writing principles and general writing strategies by instructors who are

was a possible way to improve overall engagement in research in the department, and toencourage our students to consider both academic research and research careers after graduation.By bringing research into focus at the undergraduate level, we create a recruitment funnel, trainprospective graduate students for the general research community, and raise awareness amongour students - our future alumni community - about what research is and how research serves theengineering profession. Mentoring younger students also enhances the skills of our graduatestudents and brings new ideas and perspectives to their work. Also, by engaging students inresearch in their undergraduate years, they develop a stronger sense of what research offers theircareers

SPU as a whole, as well as its engineeringprograms, are now roughly 50% white and 50% students of color. Further, the SPU student bodyis more than a third first generation to college. We also have a significant percentage ofinternational students (6.8%) and students who are older than 25 (6%). The engineeringprograms are roughly 20% female, and we have a small number of transgendered students. Thus,the capstone teams are diverse in many ways. Despite
