teachingcommunication are geared towards small class sizes and are difficult to adjust for large groups ofstudents. Directly scaling this approach would require a large number of qualified instructors—i.e., to support and assess students' communication activities—at a significant cost. Someresearchers have addressed these problems by developing online writing centers, resources andtutorials for communication skills4-7 .Online peer tutoring has also been suggested as a potentialapproach8. However, these efforts are still new and further investigations are necessary.Despite the increasing efforts, a large scale survey by Reave9 found that there is still a “large gapbetween the workplace needs and graduating engineers’ communication skills.” Based onReave’s work

In the absence of intentionalinstruction on teamwork and effective collaboration methods, students—especially women—struggle and have negative experiences that stymie the self-efficacy and confidence-building thatshould occur during the senior year.

While some programs provide communication training distributedacross many courses (such as writing or speaking assignments in core technical courses), othershave developed specific Technical Communications (TC) courses targeted for engineers.Dedicated TC courses are at times coupled closely with either a technical course or a capstonedesign course.

Usually, this peer reviewconsists of a faculty member from the same department visiting a class, perhaps with priorconsultation with the teacher of the class, and subsequently writing a letter for the dossiersummarizing his or her impressions.The faculty in our department had concerns with the peer visit evaluation method and with thelack of standardized procedures. Anecdotal evidence suggests that faculty members oftenpostponed initiating teaching evaluation procedures until very close to when the dossier was due.As a result, peer classroom visits were often arranged at
