We believe that focusing on how studentsunderstand their own work with the textbook addresses not only the last complaint, but also theother two, and to that end have modified our thermodynamics course structure with an emphasison reading activities and self-reflection.Now in class, students practice regular reflection through a short weekly assignment that we call“the reflection paragraph,” which supplements the regular problem solving homework. Studentsare instructed to write 200 words to explain what they have learned and to provide evidence ofthat learning. They are

The course runs as a one-semester, stand-alone course (not coupled to a complementarytechnical or laboratory course) with assignments ranging from laboratory reports, design reports,resumes, cover letters, interviews, technical presentations, and project proposals tocommunication with lay audiences. This paper takes a case study approach to examine theevolution of the laboratory report assignment over the course of three semesters. We found thatincorporating additional authenticity into laboratory report writing assignment motivated studentengagement and learning. Midterm and final course evaluations are used as data to reflect on theeffectiveness of three iterations of the assignment:· Fall 2011: Common

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.

Pairs then translate their mock-ups onto the board for their peers, and the class discusses common components and key differences between designs before establishing a new “best mock-up” together. This guides discussion of why certain components are necessary for the poster, why they are arranged where they are, what else needs to be considered, and how a different prompt may result in a different poster. The final outcome is a general set of guidelines for poster design that the students developed themselves, with mediation from the instructor. • Proposal Writing—students are given a topic on which to write a proposal and asked to develop a proposal outline.

While some programs provide communication training distributedacross many courses (such as writing or speaking assignments in core technical courses), othershave developed specific Technical Communications (TC) courses targeted for engineers.Dedicated TC courses are at times coupled closely with either a technical course or a capstonedesign course.

Myriad time-consuming and (at times) frustrating tasks arerequired of the UO instructor, including assigning student teams, preparing students forlaboratories, grading reports, and assessing peer evaluation results. Since faculty are often busywith other commitments such as research, grant writing, student advising, etc., it isunderstandable that instructors feel they do not have the time available to do an excellent jobteaching UO courses15, 16.Considering the importance of UO courses to the ChE curriculum, it would be ideal to relieve thepressure of time constraints upon

. From these analyses, twovariables emerged as highly predictive of student performance: scores on peer evaluations andhomework submission timeliness. This relationship remains strong even when the measure ofstudent performance is adjusted so that student peer evaluations and late penalties on homeworkassignments do not directly factor into their adjusted overall score. We discuss potentialexplanations for and practical implications of this result.BackgroundBeginning in Spring 2013 we implemented a new freshman-level chemical engineeringlaboratory course [1, 2]. In this course, students work on open-ended product and process designprojects in teams of three to four. We use many different presentation techniques in order to caterto different

teammembers are likely to divulge it as part of this exercise. In order for the instructor to intervene in a timelymanner, a mid-term or mid-project evaluation is critical. This approach requires self-reflection on thepart of the student and also provides peer evaluation. This information can be invaluable to the instructorwho may likely not have had the opportunity to observe the finer workings of the team. As anotherexample, to assess whether or not students have utilized a process in decision making, as opposed to, forexample, a majority vote, students can be asked to write a short memo outlining a decision they made,options considered, and the means by which they determined the outcome.

In this course, team assignments play a critical role in the performance of agroup because every laboratory session involves peer interactions, hands-on experimentationfrom start to finish, data analysis and discussion, and a significant amount of writing time, i.e., aworkload that is intentionally more than one individual is expected to manage.

The academic and career experience forwomen in STEM has been characterized by isolation, a lack of mentors, and a shortage of rolemodels(26). Faculty and peer interactions have substantial influence on the satisfaction andretention of students(2,3,32). Specific faculty influences include the frequency of interaction withfaculty, the quality of teaching by faculty and TAs, and the availability of female faculty and TArole models. Peer interactions affect the classroom climate and influence women’s confidenceand sense of belonging(29). Peer interactions

Thisincludes time and task management, assistance with planning an academic roadmap as well asinformation on co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that could develop one’s portfolio as achemical engineer, such as research, internships, co-ops, study abroad and (chemical)engineering clubs. Finally, the curriculum does not typically provide early information on thesteps necessary to prepare for one’s career. Failure to understand the answers to such questionscan result in students dropping the major, struggling academically, failing to make a connectionwith peers and resources, and facing challenges when applying for jobs due to inadequate careerpreparation.To address this gap in the curriculum
