Effective written communication skills are essential for engineers, as is widely recognized inthe field of engineering education and by US and international engineering professional andprogram accreditation organizations [1]–[3]. Since implementation of the EC2000 criteria,communication has been also been explicitly required by ABET accreditation criteria forengineering programs. Specifically, criterion 3g states that programs must demonstrate that theirgraduates develop “an ability to communicate effectively” [1]. While the ABET change in criteria push communication skills from the periphery to a centralcomponent of the engineering curriculum, the implementation of writing activities in engineeringcourses is often lacking.

Their engagement with the professional skill-related outcomes is an example of the expansion of horizons and concerns that EC2000 sought to promote. Nonetheless, it limited the depth with which they could articulate their evaluation criteria.

-technical audiences are too significant to ignore. In this time of ongoing discord betweenscientists, policymakers, and the public, the ways in which scientists communicate with thoseoutside of their profession is critical to improving scientific literacy [14], [15]. As Chan [16]argues, “In order for the lay public to shape an informed opinion of scientific discoveries andcontroversial developments, it is critical that scientists can communicate about research and theimplications of that research to promote awareness, clarity, as well as to respond to publicconcerns. These are the abilities that are lacking amongst many new science graduates.”Currently, there is a dearth of research regarding undergraduate students’ creative explanationsin their
