suggests that this type of studentmay approach writing differently than graduate students in other disciplines, and thus instructionshould be developed that best helps them participate in the discourse of their field.Developing academic literacy is also traced in a case study by [10].

Her primary research is in writing pedagogy and assessment, and she has taught a wide variety of writing courses including first year composition, professional writing, rhetoric, and style. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 WIP: Integrating Writing into Engineering Labs: Developing Curriculum and Creating a Writing Fellows Program I. IntroductionThis paper presents a Works-in-Progress. Communication competency is critical for practicingengineers [1]. Research demonstrates that learning to write and communicate in engineering islinked to learning to think like an engineer and to developing a professional identity as an engineer[1], [2].

), both in the student experience and in the creation of knowledge bycurrent members of the ‘community of practice’ [18]. In their paper, Lave (1991) describedlearning as “… a process of becoming a member of a sustained community of practice” arguingthat “Developing an identity as a member of a community and becoming knowledgeably skillfulare part of the same process… (pg. 65)”. A previous study consistent with this theory of learningin an interdisciplinary engineering setting showed that participation in activities relevant to adiscipline may increase students’ understanding of the disciplinary skills and concepts to thesame degree as traditional engineering educational strategies [24].In addition to meeting those educational needs, situated

Despite repeated calls for the need to expand the STEM workforce, concerning indicatorsshow that STEM baccalaureate degree acquisition is not meeting workforce needs. For instance,although engineering jobs are estimated to grow 11% in the coming years, high-school studentinterest is stagnant [7] and about one-third of first-time freshmen engineering majors leave thefield [8]. Therefore, finding successful strategies to increase the number of STEM graduates iscritical. With 50% of graduates having attended a community college previously [9], communitycolleges play a large role in the educational experiences of many college graduates in scienceand engineering fields.
