practices as they work together to solveproblems and interpret solutions. This project aims to study how engineers use literacy practicesto solve problems, and how these practices vary across different sub-disciplines of engineering.Two engineers from four sub-disciplines of engineering (aerospace/mechanical, biological,civil/environmental, and electrical/computer) will be recruited to participate in our study. Thesesub-disciplines were selected because they are the most common areas for undergraduateengineering programs and they are in demand nationally [22], [23]. The results obtained fromthese sub-disciplines can then be broadened to a more general model of disciplinary literacy inengineering.This project uses a multiple comparative case study

This has allowed San Jacinto College to allow more tutors into the classroomand to find more tutoring funds for the peer mentors. Additionally, the college has allocated AI-Tech Lab assistants to assist with the peer mentoring and project mentoring, showingsustainability of the peer mentoring program.The Tech Fridays will be continued under new grants and awards, as will the BSC Orientation.The STEM Challenge will be sustained through partnerships with the aerospace industry in theregion and continued grants.
