Barriers to InclusionOne of the most influential reasons that classes do not integrate more writing components intothe engineering curriculum is lack of time. This is addressed in “Adventures in ParagraphWriting,"5 which mentions that many engineering programs include writing education in a“bookended” fashion - in the freshman intro and senior capstone courses. The paper’s thesisindicates that more frequent, concise writing assignments based on course material will providestudents with beneficial exposure. The goal of this experiment was to provide

Both instructors and students report that structured cooperative learning improvesstudents’ understanding of course material as well as their communication and teamworkskills.1,2,3 The use of cooperative learning has specifically been advocated as a means ofretaining women in engineering programs, since women tend to prefer collaborative toindividual and/or competitive learning. Strongly positive results have been reported for womenworking in collaborative teams,3,4 although gender bias in such teams can diminish theireffectiveness.5Despite the acknowledged benefits of cooperative learning in

possible remedy is to train beginning engineering students thoroughly and correctly in how to use calculation programs such as MathCAD, Mat Lab, Mathematica, etc. Instructors often assume that students can learn these programs by themselves but in fact guidance is needed if calculation errors are to be minimized41. d) Ninety percent of the students preferred the worked example approach to the solve-problems approach. It is of course encouraging that students liked worked examples but merely liking them does not mean that the students learned more, especially in view of the “illusion of understanding” phenomenon associated with worked examples.Future workThe results from the prototype worked-example statics
