significantimprovement in students’ writing skills [21].The primary stage for the effort of improving engineering students’ writing skills can beincorporating writing instruction into laboratory courses which require lab reports. Requiringformal lab reports is an effective tool to integrate substantive learning into a written structure aswell as integrating communication skills into curriculum. It has been suggested that increasingthe number of collaborative writing assignments in the form of lab reports will result insignificant levels of improvement [18].This paper describes a series of teaching strategies to enhance students’ technical writing in thecontext of group-based lab assignments.

In addition, actionverbs depicting the learning tasks can be grouped under a specific level in the hierarchy (seeTable 1).

, gaining significant traction in the K-12 system is standards-based grading. With standards-based grading, grading is based upon “measuring students’proficiency on well-defined course objectives.” [1] Instead of arbitrary grading scales, studentsare assessed multiple times regarding their performance on course outcomes. By doing this,there is an increase in student engagement and a more thorough comprehension of coursematerials. [2] Standards Based grading focuses on the specific, relevant skills a student shouldlearn and helps instructors to assess how well students are learning and tailor their teaching tomeet areas of concern. [3] By measuring these goals, students continue to learn. By usingrubrics to articulate these goals, students can use
