enrolled in this first offering of the course: 2 mechanicalengineering technology students, 4 health science students, and 6 psychology students. Theoriginal plan for dividing the students into groups was to have students from all disciplines oneach team. With only two engineering students, this was not possible without having teams thatwere believed to be too large to necessitate active participation of all members. As such, theengineering students formed a consulting team and the remaining students were divided intothree project teams, each of which was composed of health science and psychology students. Thecomposition and interaction of the teams is shown in Figure 3.Figure 3: Team composition and interactionFrom the vantage of engineering

writing, in terms of both students’ advancement through their careersand as part of program evaluation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology[2]. Capstone design courses have become attractive contexts for writing instruction embeddedin a discipline specific context because they require students not only to devise solutions but alsoto explain how they arrived at those solutions through the design process [3]. Nevertheless,teaching writing alongside technical course content presents significant challenges. For example,faculty at the institution referenced in this report generally do not receive writing assessmenttraining. They are therefore unsure of how to grade written reports and uncomfortable withgrading them. Among
