describe our approach of scaffolding the process of student revision of writtenassignments with grading rubrics, peer review, and reflection. This work-in-progress is the firsttime we have graded rough drafts according to a rubric, although we have extensive experiencein using peer review and reflection to scaffold better writing outcomes for students [1-4].Here we describe our approach to scaffolding the student revision process in three steps: 1) Grade based on grading rubric for rough drafts. We provide grading rubrics for rough drafts when the assignment is posted, and then give students a grade on their rough draft. Using a grading rubric on rough drafts is the novel aspect of our work-in-progress. (10 points in total

Research Council [5-6].New pedagogical approaches to EC include an increasing focus on topic-specific proceduralwriting; engineering-specific templates and citations; and highly structured assignments withclear applications and a team-based component. Studies have shown that engineering students inparticular respond best and perform better in technical writing tasks with clear deadlines,expectations, peer review phases, and rubric-based assessments [5].EC pedagogy is also changing as a result of the overall importance of engineering technical workrises in industry. Calling it the Communication Coefficient (CC) method, researchers advocatethat engineering students’ experiences in the communication classroom can be improved if theyare advised in

Inthis case, peer review was implemented during class time and framed as an opportunity forstudents to explore alternative organizational structures for the report and to improve their own.For example, when assessing

Processing for Assisting in Writing English SentencesAbstractMany non-English speaking international students come to the United States to pursueundergraduate engineering programs. However, most of them struggle to learn and use Englishproficiently. This struggle to learn and use English poses various challenges. For example, suchstudents struggle to describe their plans and thoughts to their college peers and colleagues atwork. Also, it is mostly harder for such students to make their place in academic or industrycareers. Some of these difficulties arise because students cannot identify sentence structures ordifferences between various types of sentences in English. Writing in complete sentences is oneway to convey

Using additional tools that analyze syntax (Expresso), students can become aware of theirown writing style, how it contrasts with their peers, and how to objectively alter and improvewriting tendencies that challenge readability.

Each first-year student was required tojoin a peer mentor group. Mentees were then grouped based on shared interests with mentors.Once paired with a mentor, the mentees were strongly encouraged to engage in weeklyinteractions, either through attendance at a one-hour event or by maintaining regularcommunication with their mentor. With the goal of improving community bonds amongstfirst-year students, these events were typically fun, social events: meals together, game nights,sporting events, and so on.

continued success in industry [12]-[16]. Despite the importance of technicalcommunication skills, there exists a disparity between what academia reports the technicalcommunication capabilities of recently graduated engineering students is and what industry isreporting. Other research has found that 50 percent of mechanical engineering department headsconsidered recently graduated students to have strong technical communication skills, whereasindustry leaders considered only 9 percent of graduates to have strong technical communicationskills [17]. This disconnect may exist because of a lack of targeted communication and writingassignments that do not teach an iterative and peer review process for writing [18]. There mayalso be a need for engineering

VNPS on the other hand is a teaching technique thatinvolves students leaving their seats and participating in a group setting while standing at a verticalnon-permanent surface like a whiteboard to accomplish a task. An added advantage of the VNPSapproach is that it provides students the opportunity of seeing the work done by other groups,thereby gaining insights into ideas they may decide to adopt. It has been suggested that the use ofvertical non-permanent surfaces for group tasks promotes greater thinking, classroomparticipation, discussion, persistence, and knowledge mobility [12].The overarching

Peer advisors are often the missing link to connectstudents to campus resources, including career and personal counselors [9], [19]. This informaltrust created between students and peer advisors is something faculty and staff cannot replicateand promotes student success [9], [19]. Purdy writes, “The connections forged between the peeradvisors and our advisees are something professional advisors could not achieve. It builds trustwith the advising center that carries throughout the advisee’s academic career and fosters anenvironment where they are willing to keep an open mind to believe that the advisors care aboutthem and truly have their best interest at
