This paper describes thecombined approach, which can serve as a model for future courses aiming to developtechnical and writing proficiency in undergraduate engineering courses.IntroductionLaboratory courses have been a part of the engineering curriculum for the last two centuriesto provide students with a practical experience of applying the engineering concepts taught inlectures [1]. Generally, laboratory courses have been designed to address ABET studentoutcomes 3, 4, and 6. The ABET outcomes are: • Outcome 3 - "an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences" [2]. • Outcome 4 - "an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering

Withsupport from curriculum designers and educational leaders, elementary teachers can enhancestudents’ STEM learning by integrating basic engineering vocabulary and explaining whatengineers do in developmentally appropriate ways. As prior studies suggest, elementary school isa critical time for developing students’ interests [10], making it an ideal time to introduceengineering as a subject and a future career pathway.
