Over the past two years, we conducted an interdisciplinary research effort toimprove engineering students’ writing skills in two entry-level engineering laboratory courses onengineering materials and manufacturing processes. These lab courses adjusted the view ofwriting instruction from a traditional modes-based approach to a rhetorical approach, anapproach that has been successful in other general education courses. In practice, the courseinstructor and laboratory adjuncts provided a rhetorical writing review session in the beginningof the semester and graded students’ lab reports to provide feedback during the one-on-onesessions
