We conclude in section 5 with some thoughts onhow we see our program developing in the future, and also with a summary of our impressionson the usefulness of this learning community initiative to provide scientific writing support toengineering graduate students.2 Engineering graduate students and scientific writing2.1 The importance of scientific writing for engineering graduate studentsGraduate students must share the results of their research, mainly by writing and publishingscientific papers, in order to disseminate their ideas and begin the path to a successful career, beit in academia or industry.

and potential collaborationbetween engineering librarians and mechanical engineering faculty. For the course in this study,the plan for next year will be to use these instructional activities again. It also has started thediscussion of where additional library collaboration earlier in the mechanical engineeringprogram would be appropriate and beneficial. This additional exposure and training will buildfamiliarity with information fluency skills, which may be perceived as difficult, but are essentialin the professional environment.Works Cited[1] G.

The large-scale, long-term projects mirror situationsstudents will encounter in the workforce. As they join large ongoing projects, they are onboardedby peers, but also take responsibility for their own learning as they get up to speed. They dealwith decisions made in previous years and with documentation developed by others; conversely,their own documentation becomes a resource for the team.

The average participation rate across the clases for participation in at least one of thefeedback commenting opportunities was 66.3%.Data were collected roughly every 3rd week on different topics. In week one students providedpersonal information about their styles of learning and engineering interests. Every weekstudents provided ‘Muddiest Point’ feedback about the concepts and content they werestruggling with [4]. Additional feedback responses were collected about exams and quizzes, thelab section of the course, career planning and goals, and end of semester comments

Her research focuses on communication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring communication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication, effective teaching practices in design education, the effects of differing design pedagogies on retention and motivation, the dynamics of cross

Therefore,the student responses to course evaluations conducted during the fourth and fifteenth week of thesemester may be influenced by both a sense of “maturity” (i.e., Seniors who have participated innumerous courses with a variety of different instructor types) as well as a sense of “apathy” (i.e.,Senior slide before Spring Graduation and subsequent career placement).Table 1.

cognition about cognitive phenomena” (Flavell, 1979, p. 906), is ahigher-order thinking skill and is key to developing life-long learning skills necessary for ABETand for an effective work career. Despite the critical role that metacognition plays in engineeringeducation, surprisingly, it is rarely integrated into the curricula of engineering programs (Redish& Smith, 2008).1 National Science Foundation, Improving Undergraduate STEM Education grant 15043632 ABET, Inc., is in the process of changing some student outcomes required for accreditation.

My reflection also touches on how I’venoticed that the virtual notebook affords unique, individual contributions while also creating acollaborative product. Some additional themes in my reflection are about the class pace, the needto connect theory to practice, and the utility of this activity for my academic career.***This week I made the title of my reflection "Design IRL" because although I continue to learnabout how important being a peer reviewer is, what it takes to get a publication, and aiming forrejections to get published more, this week felt more grounded about how I can
