We also plan to experiment withusing learning objectives, rather than just past/extracted questions, as a criterion for questiongeneration, to explore whether it could result in improved question alignment.References [1] J.

However, they feltthat, from their perspective, the program structure was not always clear. They indicated that, atleast for some teams, there was not a clear plan for the semester early on or they did not havemeetings specifically for VIP (but more general lab meetings). In other cases, they had difficultysetting regular meeting times with their mentees outside of required weekly meetings. Similarly,there was uncertainty about how much time they could ask of undergraduates outside of therequired meeting (given that it is a one-credit hour class). One graduate student

, their time may be better spent on researchand core academic instruction rather than teaching highly applied courses. Some institutionshave found success in hiring industry retirees or industry professionals as adjunct instructors orfull-time faculty who bring valuable real-world experience and examples into the classroom.Both industry professionals and engineering professors may require additional training in TWC,data visualization strategies, and other tools commonly used by technical writers to effectivelyconvey complex information. Planning for these strengths and gaps can help programs optimizefor the best TWC instruction, curricular ‘timing’, and student learning outcomes.References[1] National Society of Professional Engineers.
