strategiesthat practicing engineers employ while reading, writing, interpreting, and evaluating varioustextual genres at their workplace. This research project explores the literacy practices ofengineers across four disciplines of engineering: electrical/computer, mechanical/aerospace,civil/environmental, and chemical/biological. These literacy practices include the textual genresthat the engineers read and/or write, the frameworks that the engineers employ when interpretingor evaluating a text, and the situated social activities in which the genres and frameworks areembedded. The knowledge gained about these literacy practices will be translated into a modelof DLI in engineering to teach students how to use authentic engineering literacy practices
