Two of theinterviewed students, Tom (a junior-year engineering major) and Matt (a junior-year computerscience major), talked about weaponized drones as part of their interview. They had writtenabout this topic in their sophomore year as part of a capstone research project in the STSprogram. Besides the thematic congruence, another thing that caught our attention was that bothstudents regarded drone warfare to have negative consequences but, to different degrees, wantedto absolve the designing engineers of bearing responsibility.One of us

Reflecting on our own prior efforts todevelop writing assignments for such courses, we became curious about the extent to which themost popular engineering textbooks include writing prompts and related writing activities. Thisquestion seemed particularly important given that textbooks often play critical roles inengineering curricula and courses. Textbooks often influence how courses are structured, andreading assignments and homework problems are frequently assigned directly from textbooks.In this project, we systematically searched for and analyzed writing-based problems in sixpopular fluid mechanics textbooks, with a focus on chapters with similar technical content

We believe that oneof the reasons why students perform better in sections of the PS course linked to a LC is becausethe narrative skills learned in the EG1 course allows them to create more engaging stories whichthey then implement as a computer program using Alice. Students taking a PS course not linkedto a LC may not be taking EG1 in the same semester, they may have forgotten about thenarrative and writing skills learned in EG1, or the EG1 instructor teaching the course may notemphasize
