In developing a portfolio of initiatives toaddress the overarching project goals, the City Council has identified an opportunity to utilize avacant city block in a low-income area with an ethnically and racially diverse population todevelop and construct an urban natural enclave, including walking trails and community foodgarden spaces. As the project engineer you plan to approach this initiative by forming a projectadvisory team comprising a variety of community stakeholders and a range of interdisciplinaryprofessionals.

While C-I course faculty indicated thatchanging their course objectives and lesson plans to include more work on communication skillshad initially increased time spent on course preparation, they also indicated that because of thedual benefits of improved communication skills and improved understanding of engineeringconcepts, the extra work was worth the effort.At this time, the culture of the College of Engineering was beginning to value and embrace theseprogrammatic changes. The program grew because of successful efforts at faculty buy-in, aswell as positive assessments of the program by students. The program was built from faculty'sgrass-roots perceptions of student needs

I was familiar withmany of the students, as they had participated in Novel Engineering units the prior year. Inparticular, I remembered Caroline and Amelia, who had been paired together previously. In theirearlier project in 4th grade, the girls had engaged in extensive brainstorming and made detaileddrawings of their design, but spent too much time planning. When they finally started building,their classmates had taken many of the materials they wanted and they ran out of time to finishtheir prototype. When they presented their unfinished project to

Mr. DeWitt’s realization came when he noticed his studentsmissed key concepts although they were attending well planned lectures and completing assignedbook reading. To remedy this, he engaged students with a different style of teaching that madethe subject less intimidating and more fun. American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson mentions a similar problem during a speechgiven to the American Association of Physics Teachers.4He also highlighted the significance ofeducators relating to their students during lecture. For example, teachers can engage the studentsby making references about pop culture and relating it to the lecture. Much like what

This form of writing means incorporating multiple modes, such as images,audio, video, and text, and following discipline-specific or genre conventions [40].

However, this conception focused on learning “how” to perform particularengineering documents rather than the higher level critical thinking skill of rhetoric –understanding why there are genre distinctions, and how to determine these underlying “valuesystems” to adjust writing for future unfamiliar genres.

Code of Ethics [19] requires engineers to“endeavor in good faith to include diverse perspectives, in the planning and performance of theirprofessional services.” Without respectful listening, an engineer will not be aware of thesediverse perspectives. The quality of understanding that is achieved during communication mayvary based on who is being listened to and how one perceives the importance of the other person[20,21]. This idea is acknowledged in IEEE’s Ethically Aligned Design [22]: “stakeholderengagement and deliberative processes can be effective when… more powerful actors participatewith an awareness of their own power and make a commitment to listen with humility, curiosity,and open-mindedness” (p. 84). Further, listening is the first
