experience of the creative arts beyond the superficial might reveal thatthe artist and the engineer are not as different as is usually supposed. The University of Texas atTyler has conducted an experimental project in which engineering students were encouraged toexperience the design process afresh from the perspective of the creative arts. Juniors inelectrical engineering worked under the mentorship of arts faculty in a chosen medium (studioart, writing, or music) to produce legitimate works of art that were displayed, performed, or readpublicly, and documented how their experiences of design in the arts have informed and shapedtheir perspectives as engineers. The structure, expectations, and results of this course aredescribed in this paper.A

Thus, some instructionin technical writing was provided, and students were given the opportunity to receive formativefeedback on their reports through peer assessment. Student teams swapped project reports andevaluated the reports (as a team) using an instructor-provided rubric based on the PE framework(Figure 2). In particular, this rubric asked students to evaluate whether the authors’ purpose, keyquestions, concepts, assumptions, and conclusions were clearly stated, accurate, and sufficientlyexplained. In addition to identifying whether the report met described criteria (exemplary,satisfactory, or needs improvement) for each element

In comparison, many students indicated that they found theassignment to create an academically-focused resume (appropriate for a graduate schoolapplication) helpful, in part because that assignment included a peer-review component wherestudents got immediate feedback during small group interactions.Some of these concerns have been addressed as the EnSURE program evolved over time: forinstance, writing assignments were refined to better align with students’ research activities, andmore instruction was provided on the value of interdisciplinary interactions—as well as
