promise for addressing these deficiencies in traditional STEMeducation is Communication Across the Curriculum (CXC), the integration of oral, visual, andelectronic communication in all disciplines. CXC was initially developed in the 1970s and hasseen some success in a variety of fields. Many CXC initiatives have been criticized, however, forbeing overly compartmentalized, focusing too much on discipline-specific skills training andhaving missed opportunities to encourage broad-minded thinking. CXC, traditionally applied,has not been viewed by the National Communication Association (NCA) as a substitute for basicinstruction provided by departments of communication [10].This project aimed to return to Deanna Dannels’ and Housley Gaffney’s [11] call

In thesecourses, students learn programming, graphical design, problem solving and follow theengineering design process to create final projects that integrate all of their newly learned skills.While there are many engineering skills directly taught in this course, there are many ‘soft skills’such as empathy, professionalism, and adaptability that are indirectly taught along the
