In addition, an abstract template wasprovided to assist the students in formatting and section descriptions. Refer to the Appendix toreview this abstract template. To remain consistent as possible with the evaluation of the writing of the students, abstractswere judged based on the rubric below. Upon evaluation, students were given assistance andsuggestions on areas which they could improve. The rubric also allowed students to self-evaluate efforts before submitting a completed assignment.

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. More rigorous writing practices would not only improve effectivecommunication skills as undergraduate students pursue their education, it can also help studentsdevelop a deeper conceptual foundation of engineering topics.

The selection of themes based uponstudents’ interests was aimed at increasing the students’ motivation to engage in the task, and theuse of teams was intended to provide a supportive environment for undertaking the self-directedlearning. The teams were charged with selecting a paper topic and writing a single term paperbased upon independent research. Three class periods were dedicated to this assignment: one forthe initial team meeting and selection of a topic, one for peer review and editing, and one forfinalizing their papers.Upon completion of the paper, the students were asked to reflect on

The research has generally shown that the writing center peer tutoring model isnot only cost-effective, but also effective in helping students increase their writtencommunication abilities and in fostering the life-long learning skill of seeking feedback fromothers for continual improvement.75, 76Most undergraduate writing centers face the problem of overcoming a wide-spreadmisconception that such centers primarily provide proofreading and editing services, which mostcategorically do not.

Forone, self-promotion; it is becoming more common for research journals to invite or requireauthors of peer-reviewed work to write summaries for the public. For instance, authors acceptedto PLOS journals are required to submit a non-technical summary of their work, and scientists’social media presence is increasingly recognized by university promotion and tenurecommittees29.

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.
