Solutions have been proposed, implemented, and inconsistently sustained.One approach to improving disciplinary technical writing is through Writing Assignment Tutor Trainingin STEM (WATTS). WATTS is an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach in which STEM faculty workwith writing centers and generalist peer tutors to provide just-in-time assignment-specific feedback tostudents. WATTS research was funded by an NSF IUSE collaborative grant (award #s 2013467,2013496, & 2013541).

It can be definedas “recognition (i.e., beliefs that they are seen as a good student in the subject by peers, parents, andteachers) as being the type of person that can do a particular subject” [17, p. 2]. In the context of thisstudy, recognition reflects both interpersonal validation from engineering peers and mentors as well aspersonal internalization of external recognition.

Job shadowingprograms have been found to have impacts on student career trajectories. Engineering programsare expected to help students find internships and job shadowing opportunities in industry becauseit is considered a best practice for students to have this experience early in their careers [3].
