/environmental engineering have declined from15.5% of all engineering degrees in 2010-2011 to ~10% in 2017-2021 [2]-[12]. This representeda declining number of degrees from 2013 to 2016 (13,417 to 12,404), then increasing numbers to2020 (15,052). Further, ASEE [3] reported the year-to-year median percent change in freshmanenrollment for civil or environmental engineering of -3.0 and -3.6 in 2019 and 2020, respectively(among 167 institutions). In contrast, the number of mechanical engineering degrees hasincreased steadily from 19,241 to 35,120 in 2011 to 2020, comprising around 23 to 24% of allengineering Bachelor’s degrees.

We define the lab writinginstructional materials in these two academic years as the control. In the summer of 2021, thelink to the web-based engineering lab writing draft modules was emailed to the instructors of theparticipating lab courses in Table 1. The instructors agreed to improve their lab writinginstructions using the module content. They did not participate in any formal professionaldevelopment training about the module content. The instructional materials developed in theacademic years of 2021-2022 are defined as the experiment. We collected the
