Kranov (2009) argues, this type of writing center support produces anenvironment where “students learn through interaction with faculty and peers to becomemembers of their disciplinary communities” that “mimics the adult learning communities thatthey are most likely to encounter after finishing their degrees and beginning their professionallives, thus fostering life-long learning skills” (Kranov, 2009).Scientific Writing Learning CommunitiesThe creation of “scientific writing learning communities” has been another pedagogical modelthat has been shown to be highly popular in addressing doctoral level academic and professionalwriting within engineering.

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.

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. Finally, there is an increased need for an informed and scientifically literatecitizenship in democratic societies due to the grand challenges of the 21st century24, and anincreasing expectation for scientists and engineers to take responsibility for contributing to

institutional contexts. In this paper, we analyze the adaptation of one such intervention,the Communication Lab (Comm Lab), a peer-to-peer coaching resource for writing, presenting,and other forms of technical communication [4]. By analyzing three institutions’ iterations of aComm Lab, we argue that a balance between core pedagogical strategies and attention to clientneeds makes the Comm Lab model both identifiable across institutions and flexible enough toadapt to new institutional contexts. For example, the client-based model relies on using peerswith disciplinary expertise to ensure quality feedback. However, the definitions of “peer” and“disciplinary expertise” become more multidisciplinary across institutions according to thestudent population

Only 3% see a strict peer-to-peer-review as way toimprove writing skills. Based on the teacher-student discussions and the discussions amongteachers, the author expected the students to be more positive to the cooperation within andbetween student groups. The reason for this will be investigated further.When the students’ responses are linked to the theories initially presented, concordance appears.Although the survey is limited, certain things are highlighted.
