Writing through the Writing Studio ModelAbstractThis paper presents the results of a pilot collaboration between the University Writing Centerand a senior-level Electrical Engineering course. To address the growing need forengineering students to improve their written communications skills, the professor added aresearch project to their class. Students then participated in a required writing studio, awriting group of five to seven students who provide feedback to one another on their writingprocesses throughout the semester. The writing studios are facilitated by the UniversityWriting Center undergraduate peer tutors, some of whom are also engineering students.Research in writing studies show that simply assigning

In order to assess the value of collaboration in thesequizzes, we contrast student gains on one scenario-based quiz completed individually to thosecompleted collaboratively. We evaluated pre-test performance and conceptual growth using avalidated concept inventory [1]. Students also completed a pre/post measure of their abilities toco-regulate their work as members of a group. We found that students showed improved co-regulation abilities, performed lowest on the individually completed quiz, and that the studentswho began with the lowest scores on the concept inventory had comparable outcomes to theirhigher-scoring peers.
