article is scholarly and whether it follows citation or styleguidelines. Finally, students can use the criteria for validity as scholarly research and what waslearned in the discussions to write their critique reviews.Tips 1. Students need exposure to many good examples of the type of writing that they are expected to produce. They need to read and critically examine those examples, and have samples of the type of work available to them to review in courses. 2. Feedback to students should emphasize what is done right as well as areas for improvement. Feedback should be given often. Try to guide the development of the writing by having the student address fundamental flaws in one draft, then mechanics in the next, then

(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

Rationale for and demonstration of eachof these techniques is offered in this paper as guidance to faculty who mentor their own students’development as disciplinary writers.IntroductionDisciplinary writing in the form of contributions to grant proposals, peer-reviewed journalpublications, and conference papers is a natural outcome of gradate engineering students’research activities and vital to the research productivity of these students’ faculty advisors.However, while students may possess content knowledge and technical expertise, many entergraduate programs with limited understanding of the disciplinary writing and publicationprocesses. Graduate students typically learn about these processes through

. It is common tosee collaboration among industries and universities on research areas. However, it is unusualto see academic programs developed in conjunction with the industries. The need forenhanced integration of basic fundamentals along with the application concepts, demanded byspecialized fields, can be accomplished by bringing together viewpoints from experiencedacademics and expert practitioners. Over the past few years, developments in highereducation have brought collaboration between the university and the private sector more andmore common.

Engineering research includes the aspect of pursuing a scientifictopic, a hypothesis or an idea in a systematic rigorous fashion. This requires critical thinking inorder to answer questions and to produce new and original knowledge. Another aspect ofresearch is describing the intellectual activity and communicating the new knowledge both orallyand in writing.
