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.

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.

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.

PBL enhancesproblem-solving skills and promotes critical thinking by requiring students to design andimplement solutions to complex tasks [10].Peer review is an invaluable method for fostering critical evaluation and collaborative learning. Itencourages students to assess the quality of others’ work while reflecting on their own [11] [12][13]. This process helps students refine their analytical skills and improves their understanding ofhow to evaluate statistical results and experiment designs. Research demonstrates that peer reviewis a useful learning tool [14] and also strengthens students’ writing and oral presentation skills[15]-[19], which are essential for engineers to communicate their findings effectively.Incorporating peer review in

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
