the ones in the past.The indirect assessment was done using course evaluations at the end of the semester. The courseevaluation is a set of eighteen questions that students answer using an agreement scale (5=strongly agree, 4= agree, 3=neutral, 2= disagree, 1= strongly disagree). These questions aregrouped into six categories. Four of the eighteen questions and two of the six categories wereused to assess students’ satisfaction with the course and, specifically, the RGM project. Theresults per year are presented in Table 2. Table 2: Results of the project assessment using mean scores of course evaluations. First Three RGM Question (Q) / Category (C

opportunity to appreciate art more”Q. To what extent do you see yourself as atypical among your peers?  “Possibly more artistic than peers?”  “There seems to be a new stereotype of engineers—they all play guitars. We don’t fit that stereotype.”  “We may have greater dislike for rote learning—too confining.”Q. How do we re-structure this experiment to draw in more engineering students?  “Form partnerships with arts students; arts students are encouraged to “get out there,” build résumés, and gain exposure through extracurricular activities.”  “Show that we are not expecting symphonies or works at that level. The art we are doing should be good, but not daunting.”  “Other students may have chosen to

this work suggestthat, contrary to common perception of engineering students, these students in aggregatereadily identified their writing courses as equally useful to their non-writing courses.However, these students were significantly less interested in their writing courses’ contentthan that of other concurrent engineering classes. We conclude by providing actionableinsights for educators that are suggested by our data. Q: Imagine that you are the instructor of an engineering writing class. What would you do to ensure that students stayed interested and motivated to learn? A: Ha! Good one. Honestly, I'm glad that's really not my problem, 'cause I have no clue. Best of luck with that, though. –Participant ID
