pairs of graduate andundergraduate engineers working in four research laboratories, we define five categories ofstrategies that students use to learn crucial research skills from each other: asking questions,demonstration, supervised attempts, trial and error, and imitation. Our study shows thatcommunities of practice, such as engineering research groups, are valuable sites for graduate andundergraduate students to learn crucial research skills. In addition, these five interactionstrategies are relatively stable, even across different research groups, disciplines, demographics,and levels of education. These strategies help facilitate the learning and teaching process withineach undergraduate and graduate pair. We found that undergraduate and

grammar, punctuation, and usage. Adownside is that the assignments do not reflect well what the students experience asprofessionals because not only is the scope of the documents defined by the students (rather thanby a manager) but also the students receive little feedback on the technical accuracy of thecontent. Another common model, often used sequentially with the first, is that engineeringstudents learn technical writing through a writing-intensive design or laboratory course. In thismodel, while the students experience writing assignments more closely aligned with what theyexperience as professionals, the instruction on writing in larger such courses is often limited toonly a few class periods [5]. Moreover, students in larger courses often

In MSE 380 and 381, the projects and writing assignments are designed to preparethem to succeed in the workplace. By the junior year, they have taken first-year writing (orearned credit) and two or more freshman and sophomore-level MSE courses with some technicaland nontechnical writing components. However, they are not required to take the sophomore-level, introductory technical communication course offered by the English department, unlikeother engineering majors. MSE students find the laboratory writing assignments are significantlymore complex and rigorous than any they have experienced to

motivated the integration ofSTS in the discourse of engineering education was a combination of external developments (suchas globalization and high profile technological disasters such as the Challenger explosion andThree-Mile Island) and a growing recognition within higher education, including engineeringeducation, of the inadequacy of traditional disciplinary structures for providing usefulapproaches to real world problems. The ethical dimensions of engineering work are rarely visibleat the level of individual projects or in the decontextualized environments of engineeringclassrooms and laboratories. As Martin and Schinzinger expressed it in their discussion ofengineering as social experimentation, “Showing moral concern involves a commitment
