, theoretical, and analytical skills associated with theirdevelopment. In the model, sophomores engage by learning the skills associated with directleadership of individuals and small teams and the management of duties. In a sophomore-leveltechnical writing course (required of all engineering and computer science majors), sophomore-level leader development was assessed using the institution’s criteria. These small teams had ahands-on, technical assignment that lasted several weeks. There was a difference in leadershipskills and communication skills observed between the traditional students with their formalleadership curricula and the student veterans. Student peers consistently rated student veteranshigher in all areas of the leadership attributes

improve technical writing instruction in laboratory courses, a multidisciplinary team ofprofessors in the departments of Writing and Engineering (1) developed a curricular frameworkthat integrates common practices of teaching technical writing in tandem with existing engineeringlaboratory courses and (2) trained a set of students to be Engineering Writing Fellows (EWF),undergraduate engineering students who tutored peers in their technical writing assignments. Thispaper will share the student and instructor opinions of these initiatives employed in the LinearCircuits Analysis Laboratory course. Analysis of the initiatives was conducted via student surveyand comparison of student writing pre and post EWF tutoring. Results show students

TransferabilityAbstractData show that underrepresented minority (URM) engineering students have lower rates ofcompletion and higher rates of attrition in their doctoral studies than their majority peers. Toaddress attrition and support students, we have developed a research-based intervention that wecall the Dissertation Institute (DI). As part of a five-year NSF-funded project, we havedeveloped and refined the DI as a one-week intensive writing and workshop experience for URMin the final phases of their engineering doctoral degrees. We have hosted two DIs to date (2017and 2018) and we are preparing for our third DI in 2019. The goal of the DI is to offer practicaland timely experiences for URM doctoral students to contribute to their degree success. At thesame time

Additionally, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) lists theability to communicate effectively an expected student outcome of accredited baccalaureateprograms. Because of insufficient writing requirements in undergraduate engineering curricula,however, many engineers are unprepared for the writing-demand necessary to convey their ownideas or understanding of ideas. More rigorous writing practices would not only improve effectivecommunication skills as undergraduate students pursue their education, it can also help studentsdevelop a deeper conceptual foundation of engineering topics.

important reasonsfor engineering students to learn to use multiple mediums to communicate with the public. Forone, self-promotion; it is becoming more common for research journals to invite or requireauthors of peer-reviewed work to write summaries for the public. For instance, authors acceptedto PLOS journals are required to submit a non-technical summary of their work, and scientists’social media presence is increasingly recognized by university promotion and tenurecommittees29. Finally, there is an increased need for an informed and scientifically literatecitizenship in democratic societies due to the grand challenges of the 21st century24, and anincreasing expectation for scientists and engineers to take responsibility for contributing to

institutional contexts. In this paper, we analyze the adaptation of one such intervention,the Communication Lab (Comm Lab), a peer-to-peer coaching resource for writing, presenting,and other forms of technical communication [4]. By analyzing three institutions’ iterations of aComm Lab, we argue that a balance between core pedagogical strategies and attention to clientneeds makes the Comm Lab model both identifiable across institutions and flexible enough toadapt to new institutional contexts. For example, the client-based model relies on using peerswith disciplinary expertise to ensure quality feedback. However, the definitions of “peer” and“disciplinary expertise” become more multidisciplinary across institutions according to thestudent population

In the course management system, students complete weeklyreadings and reflections on teamwork topics. Reflection is a critical component of learning fromexperience [18], and we believe that directed reflection helps students to abstract lessons fromtheir teamwork experiences.

Student classroom engagement greatly involves peer-to-peer interaction and not student-to-machine interaction. Nevertheless, student classroom engagement is complex and broad to behandled in one direction. Some researchers classified student behavior as a predictor of classroomengagement [11]. Likewise, Appleton, Christenson, and Furlong [12] classified factors thataffected student classroom engagement into two categories namely; the indicators and thefacilitators.

Rendón [18] found thatthe more students perceive an interaction as being positive, the more they view themselves as anintegral and valued member of their college, critical for an overall positive experience. A number of studies have identified academic integration in college as more importantthan social integration for transfer student persistence.
