authors propose a similar analysis of engineering writing from outside of theacademic arena: government reports, patent filings, and internal corporate documents likely all have“dialects” distinct from those analyzed here. It will only be after an analysis of the variation in writingbetween the disciplines, and within the communities of each discipline (corporate, government, academic)that writing center personnel will be best equipped to assist engineering faculty members and theirstudents in their quest for better writing.References:[1] Clippinger, David C., Jernquist, Kathleen S., Nozaki, Stephen, “Improving Undergraduate STEMWriting through Common Language as Tool to Teach Engineering Dialects,” Paper & presentation,ASEE Annual Conference

However, studies in higher education have shown that despiteequivalent preparation and test scores (GPA, AP, IB, SAT, and ACT) from pre-college studybetween first-year undergraduate men and women, twice as many men are likely to receive A’sin their STEM subjects as women [5-7]. Men are twice as likely as women to repeat classes theyhave failed [5], while women show a loss in the self-confidence possesed as they enter collegethat results in lower class participation, lower performance, and lower grades—as early as theirfirst year at college
