Surprisingly, some respondents noted that they do not see value or benefit from revising a paper in multiple draft iterations, even when the course instructor and/or an ECE student peer reviewer provided comments on those drafts. While one respondent wrote, “Perhaps the most important part about writing is being able to go back and rewrite,” others admitted that they did not necessarily find value in editing their first drafts.

The decrease in number ofrequired report submissions allowed space for scaffolding and focused assignments, including self-and peer-review, to be added to the curriculum. Additionally, due to assignments being submittedindividually rather than collaboratively, the reduction in reports submitted maintains the TAsworkload. The language units developed by the CE Writing Project provide a framework for aprocess orientation to writing and impart a strong connection to professional civil engineers’writing [23].

Additionally, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) lists theability to communicate effectively an expected student outcome of accredited baccalaureateprograms. Because of insufficient writing requirements in undergraduate engineering curricula,however, many engineers are unprepared for the writing-demand necessary to convey their ownideas or understanding of ideas.

However, most instructors of engineering design believethemselves to be hard-pressed to incorporate additional writing assignments into courses alreadyfilled with content materials. Also, most engineering design instructors may not have either thetime or the expertise to provide commentary on student written work. Thus, the formativeassessment for these assignments, so critical to learning, doesn’t emerge, and the experience maydevolve into “busy work” in the eyes of the student.
