prepare them for different professional scenariosthey may encounter after graduation. Writing these deliverables requires students to completeholistic analyses of materials problems including environmental, ethical, and economicconsiderations while communicating with a variety of audiences. This approach also has the added benefit of building students’ technical communicationskills across a range of modes and mediums. While most of these deliverables are collaborativelywritten, we provide some opportunity for individual work to support each student’scommunication competency and confidence. We approach communication as an ethical practice,and use detailed, strategic feedback to help students consider the ways their writing aboutmaterial

presenting technical results clearly and concisely. This paper describes thecombined approach, which can serve as a model for future courses aiming to developtechnical and writing proficiency in undergraduate engineering courses.IntroductionLaboratory courses have been a part of the engineering curriculum for the last two centuriesto provide students with a practical experience of applying the engineering concepts taught inlectures [1]. Generally, laboratory courses have been designed to address ABET studentoutcomes 3, 4, and 6. The ABET outcomes are: • Outcome 3 - "an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences" [2]. • Outcome 4 - "an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering

times competing, objectives. Aside from the technical feasibility ofthe design project, engineering students are also forced to consider business feasibility,environmental impacts, social, political, and ethical implications, manufacturability, andunintended consequences.The design experience, where students are tasked to solve this design challenge, must beintegrated with design learning, where students have the opportunity to learn and practice how toeffectively design a solution that meets multiple objectives and constraints. Learning how todesign is imperative for a successful design project, yet the teaching of design remainschallenging [3]. Project-based learning (PBL), where teams of students are set upon a designproject, has been

Ansys GrantaEduPack™ in a computer lab (see example in Fig. 8). This provided the learners with more in-depth insights about material properties and introduced them to the concepts of materials selection.3.2 Survey QuestionnaireEthical approval of the survey was obtained from the University of Victoria Ethics Board(Protocol# 24-0472). The survey includes questions regarding the students’ experiences in thematerials science tutorials. Students were sent a survey link via email through the University-approved software SurveyMonkey, whereby students could decide to participate in the shortsurvey and submit their answers anonymously. To mitigate instructor influence on survey results,the survey link was sent out by neutral third-party
