| Abstract | This study looks at the importance of listening in engineering, and how this virtue is rarely present engineering curricula.The authors of this study sought to investigate two primary issues: (1) engineering students' sources of resistance to listening instruction in a sustainable community development initiative, and (2) benefits from such instruction. From these findings, the authors discuss a theory of contextual listening and suggest that sources of resistance include the paucity of listening instruction in the engineering curriculum and curricular components that may devalue listening. Benefits of a listening intervention are described, and implications are discussed. |
