teachers to apply the concepts and techniques learned in Week 1 by practicing hands-on mini-project applications to solve problems that were assigned by their lab mentors and specifically related to their research projects. Teachers were urged to discuss ideas with their mentors and with the PI and graduate students. Teachers were encouraged to make choices, i.e. to complete a mini-project that was not completely “canned,” but rather refined in collaboration with the mentors and with each other as a team. The mini project was designed to transition teachers to practice what they learned in training in Weeks 1-2 and was not the same problem as their research project. Each team of teachers (from the

.(2011, para. 3) concisely argue: technical writing is usually not the same as scholarly writing, and scholarly writing is required in most research-based writing projects, such as theses and directed projects. As opposed to being concise, to the point, or having the data speak for themselves, scholarly writing relies on analysis, synthesis, and logical construction of a proposition with appropriate support. Technical writing is generally designed primarily to transmit specific information, while scholarly writing is designed to underpin the creation of new knowledge.Thus, the way in which technical communication programs approach teaching writing—along with debates on whether or not technical writing
