Specifically, we provide a matrix of 22concrete ILOs for WSP literacy, as well as two different approaches to assessing (some of) themin engineering education. We expect that engineering educators will find these ILOs andassessment strategies valuable for adopting a constructive alignment approach for WSP literacyin their teaching.Study overviewThe study reported on in this paper is a collaborative action research project in which theresearchers have worked together with different groups of interested engineering educators tomake sense of previous empirical research about engineering students
