One concreteexample of this problem emerged in the design of this computer laboratory.The focus and the contributionThis paper is focused on the design of a new computer laboratory to serve dual functions as: (1) asoftware teaching space, and (2) a student workspace during non-teaching times. In this paper,the author is situating the lab space design in larger questions of the interplay of power with theproduction and transmission of knowledge [35], as it manifests in the physical space. The designprocess was a collaborative undertaking by the author and her colleague Chad Korach, whereasthe theoretical analysis is solely by the author.

Such an approach also maximallyleverages the writing process towards the

For example, Harvey et al. describedengineering students’ attitudes toward writing in a communication course in which engineeringfaculty attended two of four sections of the communication course (Harvey 2000). Qualitativeresponses to items assessing attitudes toward writing and anecdotal data showed that the studentsperceived a disconnect between writing assignments in communication classes and their work asengineers.Context for the study:The present study was conducted in a chemical engineering laboratory course.

the standalone technical communication courses in the Departments ofChemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering at theUniversity of Texas at Austin [3]. Finally, rather than using a standalone course to teach writing,a number of engineering departments try to interweave the teaching of writing into a sequence ofengineering courses. Such a course sequence occurs with two upper-level laboratory courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Department of Virginia Tech [4]. However, with recent increases in engineering undergraduate enrollments [5], many suchcourses are stretched. Faculty are asked to teach greater loads, often without additional resources.One such example is Pennsylvania State University

In 2012, an international online RGMcontest was launched by Rube Goldberg Inc. for ages 11-144.RGMs were also used in educational studies, especially those related with design.

Our study shows thatcommunities of practice, such as engineering research groups, are valuable sites for graduate andundergraduate students to learn crucial research skills. In addition, these five interactionstrategies are relatively stable, even across different research groups, disciplines, demographics,and levels of education. These strategies help facilitate the learning and teaching process withineach undergraduate and graduate pair. We found that undergraduate and
