engineeringstudents in an introduction to engineering course reveals that transfer can be enhanced throughstrategies such as writing-specific feedback and writing focused class activities, thus helpingthese students to see a clearer connection between their first-year composition courses and thewriting they are tasked with in their discipline.This project started as a result of the authors being asked to join an assessment committee todevelop a plan for assessing writing across all programs at West Virginia University Institute ofTechnology. The initial plan for cross-curricular assessment includes English faculty assessingwriting from first-year composition courses and senior capstone courses from a variety ofprograms. This assessment will be used to

In this case, we mix students from two programs together in the engineeringorientation course. “What topics should be covered in this course?” is always a question and achallenge for the instructors. After 3-year practices and continuous improvements, we decide tocover not only the basics of ME and EE but also diverse soft skills trainings especially theproject management trainings. Three teaching assistants (two juniors from EE and one juniorfrom ME) are assisting a professor in the lab sections.

force students to thinkcarefully about their words and effectively improve their learning within the course. This ismotivated by the idea that if students have less to write, they will have more time to think abouttheir writing, as well as to reflect and revise, which is a critical component of improvingcomposition as well as developing self-criticism skills7. Since most engineering students plan towork in industry, real-world context is useful for giving them an idea of the types of writing theymay encounter in their future career.ImplementationTo satisfy the proposed objectives, five unique assignments were designed for the course whichinvolves the completion of five multi-week laboratory projects.

This line of inquiry brings us to the guiding research questions for this work.Are there aspects of play which can be used to inform pedagogies which improve learningoutcomes and student experience? What aspects of play are important for learning? How canthese be emulated in engineering design projects to create meaningful learning experiences?Literature ContextOne of the primary reasons to pursue play in education is that well-designed playful activities arecommonly associated with enjoyment, engagement and immersion.

Based on the responses from these questions, each pair ofstudents are matched with another pair of students with complementary skills. Another uniquecharacteristic of this course involves students having the ability to change teams after the firstdesign project. Students may desire to change teams if they feel that the rest of their team isunderperforming, or if they feel that the other students on their team are overly demanding.These practices are informed by the above studies to encourage students to develop moredependent learning styles.A self-reporting measure of team performance was given to first-year engineering students toexamine

With this mindset, we postulate that materialsresearch is entering discipline unspecific mindset, meaning that researchers across disciplines areinterested and able to contribute to solving key problems. That is, researchers in materialsscience and engineering projects self-select based on interests which are independent ofacademic training.
