A P-value of8.2x10​-16​ was obtained for significant difference between the pre and post assessments.

Engineering programs hear from their advisory boards and professionalorganizations of the importance of improving the written communication of their graduates[1], [2]. Educating students to become engineering writers, however, cannot happen in anyone course. Given the complexities of disciplinary writing and the number of audiences astudent will be communicating with once they enter the profession, a single course in writingis not adequate for students to develop as writers. Instead, research in writing studies

are many variations of this cycle,design always begins with identifying user needs. However, while engineers are familiar withthe technical aspects of the engineering design cycle, they historically lack experience in needsidentification. This disconnect often results in designs which do not address the true needs ofusers [1]-[9]. Thus, it is imperative for engineers to be educated in both the technical aspects ofdesign and in needs identification. One method of identifying these needs is user-centereddesign. User-centered design (also referred to as human factors engineering or human-centereddesign) is a methodical approach to design and has been used extensively in the healthcareindustry [1]-[11].
