(Professor Beta)A related exploratory study involving semi-structured interviews of the pilot cohort students,being presented as a Work in Progress paper at ASEE 2024, confirms that the faculty perceptionswere consistent with the students’ experiences.Reframing failure as an opportunity to learn: Before starting at Greenway, my definition of failure was that I’m dumb or I can't achieve something. But here my definition of failure is I'm not there yet. And the key word is yet. It kind of allows me to see that progress is like steps. It's not like a dead end road. Just because you made it halfway up the steps you still don't see the top doesn't mean that you should stop. And so it's definitely changed my view to where I

For this analysis, we grouped documents into similar assignment genres: research-papers (n = 28), technical reports and analyses (n = 5), and engineering laboratory reports (n =35), with individual engineering students represented at least once in the laboratory report andonce in another category. Findings showed that engineering lab reports are highly informational,minimally-persuasive, and featured more immediate elaboration on claims and data. Conversely,students’ research papers in academic writing courses were highly involved, highly persuasive,and used deferred elaboration. The analyses
