University. Advising is important to student success, especially inthe early years given the transition to college and the difficulty of classes; it has been identifiedas particularly important for engineering students [8]. Advising indirectly affects retentionthrough satisfaction and grades [9]. Engineering students--whether they stay in the program orleave--have cited concerns about insufficient advising [3] and lack of services includingprograms for advising under-represented groups [8]. Given the concerns of engineering studentslisted previously, advising is inclusive of multiple activities including career counseling,assistance with homework, academic degree planning, and mentoring [9]. Students report thatacademic concerns are their greatest

Engineers in the four industries also recognize that their communication performance isintrinsically associated with their career advancement and success, as explained by one of theparticipant engineers: I've seen some engineers do it really, really well, they're good at it, and some are not. And those that are good at that communication are the ones that tend to advance more rapidly in their career progression. So I feel it's a very important principle that if

Once this is accomplished, it then becomespossible to guide students in identifying sustainable processes for addressing the lack ofinclusion and social justice.A common approach to incorporating ethics in the Computer Science (CS) curriculum is torelegate it to a single course.
