, using prompts that involve explaining aspecific concept, problem, or involve defending a choice, and streamline and standardize gradingby adapting existing rubrics [20]. Faculty have also observed that WAC assignments mayultimately reduce the grading burden of final versions, which are higher quality and easier tograde [19].Feedback and revision support learningA fundamental observation from research on learning is that students can benefit from feedbackand revision [21-23]. Teaching writing in laboratory courses through feedback and revision canjointly improve student learning and writing [2, 3, 5, 24, 25]. However, when instructors providefeedback but do not require revision, any feedback is rendered inert, as students commonly donot review

Engineering Education, 2019 Affordances of Engineering for Elementary-aged English Learners (Fundamental, Diversity)IntroductionEnglish learners are a rapidly growing population in elementary schools [1, 2]. Over 16% ofchildren entering kindergarten are English learners and this number is growing [3]. Thesestudents bring a wealth of perspectives and ideas to the classroom and need the opportunity toparticipate in classroom experiences, including those in engineering, science, and math, todevelop interest in and knowledge of these fields. Currently English learners areunderrepresented in STEM fields. Tapping the ideas and knowledge of English learners isimportant to bring greater equity to school systems, advance the

(Focus group)Second, the graduate students appreciated the disciplinary diversity of their peers as theyperceived it important for helping communicate to non-expert audiences: The fact that we're all from different areas kind of helped get us all on even footing, because we're all expert in our field, but then we all have to bring it back to the fundamentals and explain it in a difficult way when you're used to thinking in such a high level. So I think that helped us be more cohesive and caring about each other. (Focus group) I enjoyed the academic

and Schatzberg [15] point out that definitions are fundamental to philosophy, and our philosophy, whether explicit or not, determines how we educate [16]. More practically, definitions serve as objectives, helping to determine the ultimate aims of education. Thus, definitions may provide insights into how and why engineering education is this way and not that.”As Linsenmeier states in his 2003 IEEE article on biomedical engineering [5], “in order tospecify curriculum, we need to specify the field in which we are trying to provide an education(pg. 33).” Indeed, many of the reports offering suggestions for core BME content begin with adescription of biomedical engineering and how it is distinct from [5], [6], or
