literary criticism and creativewriting” (in Connors, p. 190).As it turns out, the “conscripts” had good reason for perceiving their situation this way. To beginwith, their training had not prepared them to teach technical writing. Technical writing textbooksemerged not as a complement to but as a substitute for expertise on the part of the teacher. Themotivation for technical writing instruction was typically articulated in terms of mastering forms(i.e., business letters and reports) and mechanical correctness; the textbooks (and by extensioncourse designs) followed suit.The forms and mechanics approach may have simplified or standardized the work of teachers oftechnical writing, but its disadvantages outweighed its advantages. It did nothing to

: International Diversity, Domestic Diversity, and Social Responsibility.6The First Year Seminar (FYS) is the cornerstone of the general education program at theUniversity of Evansville. The essential learning objectives of the required course (FYS 112)include critical reading, critical thinking, and effective written and oral communication. FirstYear Seminar sections are different in content from each other, but each section meets thesegoals by encountering challenging texts and using this material as the basis for writingassignments and class discussion. This course builds upon the students’ basic academic writingskills and helps them begin to understand the conventions of academic research and college-leveldiscourse. Through FYS, students meet the

Initial submissions for a challenge and resubmissions are notdistinguished in the graphs. There are some artifacts in the patterns that bear discussion. As can be clearlyseen in Figure 1, there are several submission bursts, represented by higher spikes, in the 15-18submission range at several points in the semester. These predominantly represent student attendance at afew required sessions, each offered at 3 different times during the semester.

that the development and use of technology involve trade-offs and a balance ofcosts and benefits. Case studies of situations where one material (“new” and with superior properties) is to be used in place of another (“old”) material can be useful here where the advantages must be balanced against uncertainties in the use of the replacement material. New composite materials have remarkable mechanical properties. However, the failure modes of steel are relatively well understood and the new materials are often more expensive.• Asks pertinent questions, of self and others, regarding the benefits and risks of technologies.• Participates, when appropriate, in decisions about the development and use of technology

, for example: most of mechanical engineers had no opportunity to learnmuch about medical field unless they studied to become medical doctors. Breakthroughs in new technologies such as microelectronics and computer science servedas a major catalyst in the growth of third industrial revolution. By mid-twentieth century, aconversation on interdisciplinary started to appear. It was recognized that the ever-increasingdemands for improved materials properties were best delivered from an interdisciplinaryapproach [8]. Particularly, after Russian launched Sputnik in 1957, the United Statesacknowledged the demand for Material Science and Engineering discipline to progress indefense and nuclear industries [9

Writing style, as judged by verb form, is very similar, with gerunds,passive verbs and participles dominated the verb forms in roughly similar proportions. Apersonal author presence was found in a high proportion of both mechanical engineering papers(90%) and physics papers (100%). Development and presentation of material favored a roughly2:1 ratio of prose to figures in both disciplines as well.However, many differences became apparent as the analysis is expanded beyond these points.The contrast in the number of equations that appear in engineering papers when

on technological topics at a level that is appropriate for non-engineers. However doing so requires appropriate curriculum and course materials. To facilitatethis process, a review was conducted of technological literacy courses already being taught byengineering faculty. It was found that courses can be classified in four categories. These fourgroups are survey courses, focus courses, design courses and connections courses. The surveycourses aim to cover a wide range to technological products, systems, and issues. The focuscourses address a more narrowly defined area such as energy or nanotechnology. The designcourses emphasize developing a familiarity with the engineering design process. Connectionscourses concentrate on the

ameans by which technology is developed not a product in itself. Students in engineering andtechnological literacy courses typically are interested in understanding the end result, thehardware, and struggle with a design-centric approach. The design process must involve actualphysical material from which designs can be produced. The function-component-system-domainapproach helps students to carry out the design process by emphasizing that componentsproviding functions are the elements from which engineering designs are created. Focus oncomponents such as motors, beam, switches, and pumps as building blocks of engineeringdesigns helps to make the design process less abstract and more realizable.
