are upper division laboratory courses and capstonedesign taught by engineering instructors. Prior to entering these courses, the writing instruction atypical engineering student would have received was through their university freshman levelEnglish composition courses, or their high school courses if they test out of the university course.In these engineering courses, students are typically required to write large design reports,experimental plans, and technical reports, which are generally not accompanied by any formalcommunication instruction. As a result, students are learning technical communication skills inan ad hoc and implicit manner through practice rather than instruction, with some studentshaving the advantage of additional
of those particular courses. In this offering format, a program isstill able to teach the material that is deemed necessary for students to learn before they graduate,but allows students to apply that knowledge in particular applications that are of the most interestto them. For example, suppose that a program wishes to teach students how to design laboratoryexperiments. The program could teach this in one particular laboratory course. Or the programcould offer two or three laboratory courses that focus on different particular subdisciplines in thefield, and teach students in each of these courses how to design experiments. By requiring thatstudents take at least one of these elective courses, the program guarantees that the students

Each year,students built a device in the fabrication lab that was designed by the previous cohort. Thisdevice was fabricated across four laboratory activities: 1) milling, 2) turning, 3) welding, and 4)tapping, threading, and assembly.

the response. In this module, arecorded lecture, a new laboratory experience, and an assignment were created. The DOEmodule targets the remaining assessment objectives of Competency 1 (C1) and Competency 2(C2). DOE was selected for these objectives because it is heavily focused on the hypothesisdevelopment, experimental plan, and data collection points. The laboratory exercises also coverdata analysis and interpretation, which could also target C3 and C4. However, since SPC coversthose topics more directly, the focus of the DOE module is to satisfy C1 and C2. Introduction ofDOE also enabled the incorporation of additional educational components.

expectationsthat engineering audiences have for documents—expectations for titles, summaries,introductions, sections, appendices, illustrations, and equations. Until students learn theprinciples of engineering writing, a significant gap exists between what those students haveexperienced in general writing courses and what those students are expected to produce inreports for design courses, laboratory courses, and internships. Engineering colleges are responding to this gap. For instance, at the University ofMichigan [4], the College of Engineering has dropped first-year English from their curricula infavor of increasing the number of credits allotted to first-year design. Now having four credits,this first-year design course has both a design
