While the instructor put a lot ofeffort in explaining the importance of peer reviewed publications, in their final papers manystudents still included websites as references and did not search for peer-reviewed referencepapers published in journals and conference proceedings.Conclusions and Future WorkIntroducing a technical writing assignment in a lower division electrical circuits course was apositive experience for the instructor as well as the students.

.7 Because of the relativelylimited research on peer review of oral presentations as a way of giving graduate engineeringstudents the feedback they need to improve, this paper necessarily draws on some of theliterature on peer review of writing on undergraduate and graduate levels, in engineering andresearch in higher education, and extrapolates some findings to oral presentation peer review.The paper focuses on why peer review is useful, different methods of it, and several classroomexamples.RubricsEffective peer review is only as good as the criteria on which it is based and the instructionprovided. Yet, similar to the process of learning to do oral presentations, engineering graduatestudents often lack formal training in performing peer

In addition, the students present theirresearch papers orally at a class conference held at the end of the term. The paper writingactivity takes the place of a standard final exam and consequently is worth 200 points or theequivalent of about 20 percent of the students’ overall course grades.

For instance, Parettiand Burgoyne recommend problem-based learning as an approach that can enable greaterattention to communication instruction and practice in upper-level design courses, finding thatboth students and faculty found these kinds of writing assignments useful.20 And House et al.described a curriculum where approaches such as student writing portfolios, incorporatingwriting into several engineering courses, and using a combination of rubrics and peer reviewimproved student learning outcomes related to communication.21While these sources advocate for more writing within the

students at SJSU. IntroductionIn Fall 2011, SJSU received a U.S. Department of Education grant, AANAPISI, to improve thewriting skills of Asian-American students at SJSU. This grant has several focus areas, one ofwhich is the improvement of writing and writing instruction in General Education (GE) classes.A significant percent of SJSU’s incoming freshmen are remedial in English or mathematics. PerCSU policy, students must clear their remedial status within one year or they are disenrolled fromthe CSU. A look into retention rates shows that there is a higher attrition among remedial studentsthan their non-remedial peers. Also, the time to graduation is typically lengthened up to two yearsfor students who need remedial classes.Many of these remedial

The intent ofthese modules is to engage students with writing exercises that will prepare them for the specificPITCH assignments in target courses (i.e., technical memos, laboratory reports and senior designproposals, reports and posters). Students will also benefit from feedback provided by the onlinetechnical writing instructors as well as peer review using the EliReview® software system.15 Theonline modules are being developed now and implementation is expected to begin in fall 2016

were doing it to satisfy their own intrinsic values. While they still believed that good writingwas important to an engineering professional, the lack of continuity in the curriculum madewriting seem far less important to an engineering student.Compounding this devaluation, students often received negative social messages from otherstudents and even faculty about the value of communication coursework. Some students hadbeen told by peers to expect their writing class to be tedious, and mostly just a meaninglessrequirement. One student reported that in a subsequent class with a communication component,the instructor explicitly messaged that the students were there to get an easy grade on thatcomponent and pass through to more important work.The

As a result, in the subsequent semesters, the culture of a higherstandard is developing and the more rigorous expectation is generally known through the studentpopulation. The second focus of this work grew as natural questions from the effort to bringrigor to technical writing in the department. What is the perception of academic integrity issuesamong undergraduate students and faculty in the department and does it shift during a student’scareer?
