U.S. are finally heading the many calls to include sociotechnicalthinking–grappling with issues of power, history, and culture–throughout the undergraduateengineering curriculum. While non-purely-technical topics have historically been relegated toseparate courses, universities are now working to integrate sociotechnical content in coursespreviously considered to be purely technical. Researchers have varying motivations for thisfocus, including to better prepare students for engineering practice, which is inherentlysociotechnical [1]; to increase the sense of belonging of historically excluded students, who aremore likely to be interested in the social aspects [2]; and to create better societal outcomes [3-5].Attempts to disrupt the social

In many cases,preparing a competent workforce is also widely seen as part of the university mission.The changing landscape of higher education funding has also no doubt had an impact. Asuniversities deal with cuts in public funding sources, collaborations with business and industryare often viewed as financially attractive, by both the university and the business. The universitymay receive funding to help deploy a project, and the business or industry can access theexpertise found on university campuses on a needs basis, as opposed to funding entire training orresearch departments within the organization itself [1].

Writing can be a particularchallenge, as engineering is often characterized as a discipline of strictly math and science andengineers are prevalently stereotyped as being poor writers. While communication skills are inaccreditation criteria and many programs have writing requirements, writing may still be seen assomething external to engineering rather than as part of the discipline itself [1].Communicating or sharing expertise is among the many reasons practicing engineers write. Beingable to clearly do so requires a thorough understanding of both the content area and audience.Prewriting, a catch-all term used to describe

At a university,this area commonly includes most of the introductory engineering mechanics coursework alongwith structural analysis and structural design courses. Many have noted that the field of structuralengineering has continued to become more complex and requires more advanced coursework,possibly even a graduate degree [1]-[2]; this sentiment aligns with other professions that are vitalto public welfare, such as medicine and law, where graduate education is the entry level [3].
