early results results from a four-year,mixed-method study which collected data through a combination of interviews and focus groupswith members of the Engineers Without Borders USA organization, analysis and coding ofcompleted project documentation, and observations and notes collected during a field visit to aproject site. We conclude from our early data that students who are able (given sufficientresources) to fully participate in these type of projects do see positive benefits. However, barriersmay prevent all students from having this opportunity. Further, the nature of student servicelearning projects inherently creates challenges for the communities that partner on these projects.Ongoing revisions to the Engineers Without Borders USA

The course is based in the rhetorical tradition, which means that analyzing and adapting toa specific audience are central to the writing process. The course objectives, which aredetermined by the writing faculty and shared across all sections of the course, include writing inseveral genres, collaborating with teammates, and developing project management skills. Withinthese shared objectives, Tech Comm instructors have freedom to design their own courses andassignments. While some

In the 19th century, Germans used the word “Einfühlung” inaesthetics theory to describe the process in which a viewer projects oneself into the objectof beauty. At the turn of the century, “Einfühlung” migrated out of aesthetics and becamea choice for psychologists to describe the ability to

Assuming that a student ina typical technical writing course spends 3 hours outside of class for every hour in class onassignments and assuming that 2 of those hours are spent on the writing, the student would spendat most 15 hours researching the topic of the document sequence.
