Corneal [6] developed a sequence of three templates to guide studentsthrough the process of technical report writing and implemented it in a first-year engineering labcourse.According to the theories of learning transfer [7], describing how past experiences affect learningand performance in a new situation, the transfer of writing skills from first-year composition toengineering can be classified as ‘far transfer’ that contains very few abstract or generaloverlapping features [8].

Secondly, most undergraduate programs currently follow some version of writingacross the curriculum (WAC) [6, 9, 22-24] where communications skills developed in early-years courses are reinforced through later lab, design, and capstone classes. Ideally, instructionalelements like templates, exemplars, and rubrics are kept consistent throughout WAC courses.Lastly, there is strong evidence to suggest that situated learning activities – that is, instructionand assignments

The current framework mirrors the review process thattakes place in industry and motivates students to keep up with major deadlines. Students need tolearn how to accept feedback, review other’s work, and communicate their designs to besuccessful in industry. The framework has been developed over three semesters and incorporatesscaffolded milestones, (peer) design reviews, and reflection.

As shown in recent studies on student perceptions of online learningduring the pandemic, students experienced declines in peer-to-peer and student-instructorinteractions in fully online courses [1]. Students also reported difficulties in maintainingmotivation and getting support, which has negatively impacted their online learning [2].During this unusual time, the flipped classroom particularly has drawn attention as an effectiveway to address the challenges associated with fully remote teaching.

Although aspects of thedevelopment of the OER took numerous hours and became monotonous, she thoroughly enjoyedwriting her own sections and examples.

are less under their control. Though it is notintended for the education environment, a simple act of assigning grades may already put gradersin a powerful position. By democratization, we (as instructors) basically release our “gradingpower” in the courses and engage students in the grading processes. Examples include contractgrading, self-grading, and peer evaluations.In our view, these categories of alternative grading can address the negative features oftraditional grading discussed earlier. First, both lower grade granularity and democratization ofgrading can make grading less judgemental as students are not compared by hair-splittingdifferences, and they can have more control in grading. Second, standardized and iterativeformative

happy witha ‘C’ (a passing grade) while another wants an ‘A’. The one desiring the ‘A’ often then mustcarry the team and resents the fact that the other members obtained a high mark without puttingin the work. On the other extreme, each member of the team must materially participate in allaspects of the project (e.g. a team can’t decide one person will write the report, another will dothe calculations, etc.). The instructor’s challenge in this paradigm is to then determine how eachperson performed individually, independent of how well the team performed. Most instructorsattempt something in between these two extremes.As anyone who has taught a class with team projects knows, such courses are typically moredifficult to teach than more

their grades aredependent on their peers’ grades. These drawbacks to traditional points-based grading may resultin a cumulative score, and resulting grade, that may not reflect what students have learned, andmay not effectively incentivize students to learn or employ best practices in learning.There are variations to points-based grading that affect how students learn, their motivation, andoutcomes. For example, grading using different incentives, such as students earning points versusstudents losing points, has been shown to motivate students differently [3]. Goal structures in agrading scheme, such as cooperative, competitive, or individualistic, place implicit value oncertain behaviors, thereby acting as an “unconscious curriculum” that
