Students obtain engineering degrees from a variety of institution types (Ellis,2008). In order for the RED program to achieve its ambitious goals, it is important to include avariety of institution types. Thus, there is a need to reach out to a wider community and tomentor people at other institutions who are interested in developing competitive RED proposals.

Studies find that womenmust engage in certain practices and behaviors in order to prove that they are competent andprofessional members of the profession. For example, in one study by Heather Dryburgh, shefinds that female engineering students learn to adapt to engineering culture by accepting sexism,working hard in order to prove their competence, and by performing masculine behaviors, suchas acting tough. As she argues, this adds a layer of extra work for women who must learn topresent a confident image to be taken seriously as an engineer.

shapeproject constraints and user needs [2]. In other cases, the aim is to help students approach designin the context of ethics or sustainability, with an eye toward the long-term impacts of their workacross a range of users and circumstances [3]. Immersive classroom experiences like design-build-test assignments and community engagement projects can help facilitate this kind ofknowledge [3-5]. Lab classes are good candidates for doing this kind of work, given the alreadyhands-on nature of a typical materials science lab course. One area where the lab class has yet toexcel, however, is in preparing students to communicate meaningfully about their work acrossdiverse audiences and situations. In this paper, we argue that strategic focus on
