The 26 publications that did directly addressHC fell within a date range of 2001 to 2020, with the heaviest cluster (18) occurring in the pastfive years: There were 4 publications in 2015, 3 in 2016, 5 in 2018, 4 in 2019, and 2 in 2020,together accounting for the majority of all ASEE publications in this area.We read each of the 26 publications directly addressing HC and coded them according to thefollowing criteria: the role and context of HC in the analysis; whether the influence of HC onengineering education was described as primarily negative, positive, or neutral; and whether HCwas related to engineering ethics education (and, if so, how).

In what follows I elaborate how I developed the new patent assignment for a pilotSummer semester version of the course in 2019 and how it was later implemented in the maincourse in the Fall 2019 semester. I also explain how students at once welcomed and resistedworking with the SDGs and the effects that reorienting the patent assignment around them hadon their perception of the course’s value. I conclude that both qualitative and quantitative data instudent course evaluations suggest that reorienting course lectures and assignments around theSDGs played an important role in increasing students’ appreciation of the

From September 2019 through April 2020,these resources received more than 39,000 film views.Introduction From grade school through first-year composition, engineering students take severalcourses on general writing. Although valuable, these courses by themselves do not sufficientlyprepare students for the challenges of writing as an engineer. The reason is that engineeringwriting is significantly different from general writing. For one thing, the content of engineeringdocuments is, on the whole, both more specific and more complex than

Some engineering education scholars have begun to document how technocracy and meritocracy have been mechanisms of marginalization within engineering education (Slaton, 2015; Foor
LGBTQIA+ CommunityThroughout this paper, we reference the term “LGBTQIA+,” which is an umbrella acronym usedto describe any person who does not identify with heterosexual and cisgender norms (Gold,2019). Recent research on the LGBTQIA+ student experience shows a growing interest on thistopic, both within and outside of the field of engineering education (Lange et al., 2019). Withinthis encouraging trend, the disciplines that have placed the greatest sense of urgency onunderstanding this community’s experiences appear to have been higher education, psychology,and queer and gender studies. Research from these fields have shown that LGBTQIA+ studentsexperience heightened levels of verbal and physical violence, harassment, and discrimination. Asa

strongertechnical communication skills. In the early 2000s, engineering professional societies reportedunderdeveloped writing and presentation skills in entry-level job candidates while, at the sametime, stressing the time spent in a typical engineer’s day on communication tasks [1, 2]. At thesame time, ABET adopted new criteria for evaluating and accrediting engineering programs [3].The criteria focused on developing “soft skills” including teamwork, ethics, and effectivecommunication, among others. The importance of soft skills has only grown in the interveningyears. Among ABET’s student outcomes as listed in 2019-2020 is “an ability to apply written,oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments;and an
