Focused observation ofspeakers helps students define their own presentation style and also supports in-class exercisesthat break down the many elements of a presentation. Targeting single elements such astransitions or fielding questions allows students to build capacity through experimentation. Aswith the writing course, Ph.D. students greatly

analyzing the results. This form of peer interaction encouragesthe students to present a persuasive argument and engage in a technical discussion. An audienceof peers is less authoritative and less intimidating than the course instructor, and may serve as alearning resource for students (Hilgers et al., 1999).In addition to the benefits presented above, by learning and practicing other modes of technicalcommunication, engineering students develop a foundational skill that is key to their futuresuccess (Prausnitz and Bradley, 2000; Kmiec, 2004). Writing emails, preparing budgets andjustifying them, and taking meeting minutes are examples of routine tasks for engineers(Tranquillo and Cavanagh, 2007; Lepek and Stock, 2011).

Generativewriting is a mechanism that is incorporated throughout the field school, underlining the ideathat writing at all stages of the research process is part of research.The playful principle draws from the fluid nature of research, where research will evolve andchange as we engage in it and make that process enjoyable.

Therefore, engineering schools must preparestudents with teamwork skills and incorporate teamwork as a significant part of their engineeringcurricula (ABET, 2021).Team participation is typically evaluated through peer evaluations or through instructorobservation of individual team members. Several tools have been developed to assess individualperformance, such as the Team Effectiveness Questionnaire (TEQ) or the ComprehensiveAssessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CATME). These assessment tools are based onself-reflections or peer evaluations. However, the efficacy of these tools has been questioned.At the University of
