learners.Too many engineering students arrive at university convinced that either they cannot write ordo not need to write. Engineering education needs to move beyond classing students as ‘bad’writers, and instead treat them more as ‘uninitiated’ writers (Fernsten and Reda, 2011).Genre-oriented approaches help to emphasise that learning writing is learning a set of skills.Recent research in engineering education has emphasised the importance of involvingindustry in education (e.g., Lamancusa, et al., 2008). A tight link between improved teachingof writing and employers’ expectations matches calls for more professional links forengineering students. This call is both strong and multi-national (ASCE, 2004; King (Aust.),2008; Royal Academy of Engineering

We have come a long way since thebeginning of the project in terms of creating exercises which provide reliable feedback to assessgains in student learning, but we need to continue to improve in that area. While the exerciseworksheets are being continuously improved already, we need to rely on ongoing experiencerunning the labs to help us continue to improve and update the worksheets, particularly in thearea of assessment.Ultimately there are several things we would like accomplish. We want to refine our suite ofexercises to provide a pedagogically sound, easily assessable set of experiments. They should beinteresting enough so the students are motivated to do their best work. We need
ofstakeholders.From educational standpoint, the introduction of these emerging technologies within the curriculum forany engineering program is proven to be difficult due to: (1) novelty of the topic (most of the time thetopic is barely out of the research lab), and (2) lack of appropriate learning modules, and curricularimplementation, among other reasons. Technologies are fast changing, and curriculum doesn’t alwayskeep the pace. Emerging topics in engineering were introduced in classroom teaching via faculty-ledresearch spin-offs, student-led research and project-based learning. During the past decade, introducingsustainability into the curriculum was and is a constant preoccupation for educators, as students need toacquire and master in real-time the

It is characterized by: the highest student initiative expressed in totalcontrol of the learning content, process, length, and depth; lasts only long enough to complete agiven task or solve a specific problem; no perceived resultant reward or only the intrinsicsatisfaction of knowing that a task is completed. The experiential process of education andlearning may not be specifically recognized since it takes place as a part of other activities thatare not normally associated with learning.
