Before the group traveled to Germany, all twentyparticipating undergraduate students had to complete a mandatory three-day preparation course oncampus. The group consisted of 20 undergraduates of all class years with about one third offreshmen and sophomores, and another third of juniors who will go on their year of studying andinterning abroad this coming Fall. Furthermore, two graduate students who had already spent theirsenior year abroad in Germany, completed the dual Bachelor degree in an engineering disciplineand German, and are now enrolled in the dual master program between URI and

At the beginning of the semester, students responded individually toprompts for experience and perceived need within five key areas of expertise in the classroom:teaming, computer drafting, building, programming, and wiring. Subsequent to recording theirindividual responses, charts were placed on the board and students were provided with coloreddots so they could transfer their information onto a classroom master list

While we believe inthe utility of WAC work, it is not without faults. Generally, traditional WAC models have led tocritiques that such work reduces exceptionally complex pedagogical practices for teachingwriting to simple strategies that can be mastered in a short time [15] – an ironic critique, giventhat WAC proponents hope to challenge overly simple notions of writing. Walvoord et al., [14]have warned against more stabilized “WAC orthodoxy.” Others critical of WAC have likened itspractitioners to missionaries, delivering “good” writing pedagogy to those who attend workshopswith little or no

are much lower than SAT Math scores; this is true of most students in STEM fields. 6 Thosewith higher scores are generally found in other fields in the humanities and arts. Based on thisdata, it is often inferred that students with stronger verbal skills are encouraged to go to fieldsoutside of STEM.The concept of writing across the curriculum has been researched, tried, and documented fordecades. Earlier it was referred to as cross-curricular writing instruction, now it is morecommonly referred to as “Writing Across the Curriculum.” One must wonder why this has beensuch a discussed concept, and why it is so very hard for various entities to enact. Mostacademics would agree that writing skills are important and should be practiced to master.7
