byengineers entering practice and the competencies that a new engineer should develop as theyprogress through their professional career. In addition, this Third Edition of the CEBOK(CEBOK3) emphasizes that engineers should also develop an appreciation for effectivecommunication and demonstrate key abilities related to the affective domain. With theimportance of communication to future engineers’ practice of civil engineering clearly defined,undergraduate curricula must adapt to meet this need. At the University of Delaware, the civilengineering curriculum included significant communication content prior to the issuance of theCEBOK3. However, the standard communication coursework of public speaking and technicalwriting left a gap in critical

years of thinking about what we offer to students in engineering, it is plain to see thatthere is a necessity to provide future engineers with the tools needed to function productively insociety. When looking at how we prepare mechanical engineers it is fairly easy to see the needsof the customer. Whether it be mathematics, fluids, controls, vibrations, heat transfer, or design,the educational systems across the country and for the most part the world prepare students fortheir entrance into their careers. There is no argument in that, but as one looks at the whole bodyand not just the technical composition of our students, there is a need to continue to explore howwe can provide closer to 100% of their needs and not just those of the technical

6% of STEM workers and Hispanics representing 7% ofSTEM workers [7].Traditional efforts to increase participation in STEM fields have been largely focused on improving themath and science curriculum through better recruitment and training of teachers with scholarships, loan-forgiveness, and higher pay. However, “not enough STEM graduates means not enough STEM teachers,regardless of incentives [8].” An alternative is to expose students to STEM fields early and induce them tochoose STEM careers. For example, 65% of scientists with advanced degrees developed their scienceinterest before middle school [9]. However, in underserved populations, it is not necessarily lack of theawareness of STEM fields but the socio-economic barriers that prevent
