effectiveness in teaching than it is in research where metrics likeh-indices, research expenditures, and Ph. D. students graduated, provide a quantitative measureof impact. Teaching, lacking such metrics, does not have the same broad recognition ofscholarship (and effort towards training) that research does. When teaching is recognized, it isoften a local award—such as a departmental or college honor—than something that istransferrable between institutions. In fact, many stories exist (and have existed) for decadesabout teaching awards being viewed in a negative light by the tenure and review processes asthey indicate time that might have been spent on technical pursuits (that next paper, that nextexperiment, or that next grant proposal) which are

That intrigued her to dig deeper into teaching-learning pedagogy.

However, before we jump into applying a change, we should understand the impact of the change from all stakeholders’ perspectives.Lisa LachutaDr. Christine Moresoli, University of TorontoDr. Rania Al-Hammoud, University of Waterloo

Hence, promoting students’communication capabilities in engineering courses would require future evaluation. However,herein students develop technical writing and oral communication skills individually andcollaboratively. Documentation formats consist of process writing exercises, executive summaries,scientific research reports, and other forms of engineering communication. The approach presentedmay prompt a feasibility study for specific integration of communication competencies intraditional coursework in other engineering programs. Therefore, induce a

For example, our survey was designed to rely ontwo definitions of engineering identity: Tonso’s uni-dimensional definition of “belonging as anengineer on campus” [5] and the multi-dimensional definition of engineering identity used byHazari, Godwin, and others consisting of performance/competence, interest, and recognition[13], [15], [28].
