New faculty, however, have little experience or training in how to develop effective labreport assignments and instruct students on how to write laboratory reports. In an effort toimprove both the teaching and learning of laboratory report writing, engineering educators fromthree distinct universities (one large public research university, one small public polytechnicuniversity, and one private undergraduate university) developed a series of online laboratoryreport writing instructional modules.

difficult task but a foundational skill inengineering education. As the ABET outcome 3 stated, engineering graduates should be able tocommunicate effectively with a range of audiences [1]. Most US engineering laboratory coursesassign lab reports to improve students’ written communication skills and knowledge of writing inthe context of engineering. Indeed, engineering lab reports possess fundamental characteristics ofprofessional forms in engineering literacy. However, engineering undergraduates consistentlyface many challenges in producing satisfactory quality engineering lab reports [2-10].Writing is a complex task for students to combine multiple aspects of literacy at once. Often,undergraduates learn those aspects in their first-year

Thus, the USF has explored implementing oral and “process writing”assignments into creative thinking engineering undergraduate coursework to fulfill a statecommunication requirement and satisfy the NACE professional proficiency.In an attempt to teach students how to develop and communicate ideas within the engineering fieldto a wide range of audiences, USF integrated pre-writing, co-authoring, revising, and editingstrategies into a first-year engineering design course.

The extant literature on mindsets is abundant and highlights the need for relevantmindsets toward specific task performance [9] – [11].The term ‘research mindset’ has been used by some researchers [10]–[12], but has yet to beexplicitly defined. A few studies call out the presence of research mindset and the relatedconstruct of researcher identity [13], [14]. Efforts in this space aim to better understand howmindset plays a role as researchers engage in various research tasks like defining researchproblems, conducting literature reviews, designing and conducting experiments, writing upresults, and working on a research team.

Stories, as generated from our livedexperiences, provide us all the opportunity to make meaning and derive purpose from the thingsthat have happened to us—and, often, that meaning is focused on our understanding of the self. Hlalele and Brexa (2015) describe autobiographical writing as having the “potential forself-insight,” while Lengelle and colleagues (2013, 2014) similarly emphasize storytelling as amechanism for gaining self-insight.

DesignAbstractOne approach to look at student learning is to identify “threshold concepts.” These are conceptsthat, once grasped, allow students to engage with the material in a fundamentally different way.First described by Meyer and Land [1], these concepts are transformative, irreversible,integrative, and troublesome. The process of mastering a threshold concept (TC) meanstraversing a liminal space during which the student is changed. Looking inward at our owncapstone program, we identified three candidate TCs: (1) Complex engineering problems arebest solved by teams working together. (2) A team can learn a lot from a prototype, even(especially?) when it doesn’t work. (3) The goal isn’t to find the right answer, but to learn aprocess by which a
