To best support the growth of an EM inengineering students, researchers have begun to design and implement teaching practices gearedtowards instilling this mindset in their students. However, there is still a dearth of research onassessing teaching practices that provide support for integrating EM into engineering courses.Thus, this work in progress reports the initial efforts to design an engineering-specific teachingpractices assessment tool to serve in a larger project that addresses engineering teachingpractices that infused EM mindset EM development.

Specifically, Lin [1]demonstrates the significance of this approach for EER students.Writing in graduate school can be isolating, demoralizing, and difficult. Challenges withcommunication may impact a student’s progress to degree substantially. Because the practice ofappropriate communication (communication recognized as effective by experienced researchersin the discipline) is an essential element of developing a researcher identity, challenges withsuccessfully developing the communication milestones of the degree—the qualifier exam ordissertation
