of Written Communication into Engineering Classes and CurriculaAbstractThe inclusion of writing-based exercises in technical courses has multiple learning benefits tostudents. Writing exercises not only serve to improve students’ written communication skills(i.e., “learn to write”), but can also be leveraged to develop critical thinking skills and promotedeeper understanding of technical concepts (i.e., “write to learn”). Nevertheless, while writing-intensive assignments are relatively common in upper-level technical courses, especially in theform of laboratory and project reports, writing is often absent in the larger, required core coursesthat are taken by large numbers of engineering students. This is a

To this end,the use of rubrics can be very worthwhile for both the students and the instructor.

housed in the School of Engineering,coordinates a network of entrepreneurship-related programs and activities open to all studentsregardless of major or school within the institution. We start with the premise that there are twokinds of innovation: market-pull and knowledge-push. Market-pull innovations are those inwhich entrepreneurs identify a customer need first through customer discovery and then seek thetechnology required. Business schools traditionally focus on teaching entrepreneurs how torespond to market-pulls. Knowledge-pull innovations originate with an inventor or scientist; theentrepreneur then strives to connect the laboratory discovery and technical innovations with acustomer need. We believe that knowledge-push innovations often
