(IEA) aims to enhance engineering education andproficiency globally. It accomplishes this mission through educational agreements related tostandards, best-practice accreditation processes, and mutual recognition of accreditedengineering programs, as well as agreements that outline and acknowledge professionalcompetence.The IEA Agreements are founded on the principle of "substantial equivalence of academicprograms." Substantial equivalence is understood as the general results achieved that,although not identical, are repeatable and effective against the same standard, even if themeans by which the results are achieved or evaluated are not similar [10].

As they are able, sponsors provide a financial contribution for the project workdone by the team. However, the work is performed and provided to the sponsor “as is”, meaningthat it is not stamped by a professional engineer and no warranties are given. Most sponsorsreturn to the program each year, even as new sponsors have been added. The class is divided intoteams of three or four students.

process, butoftentimes engineering technology students have few opportunities to develop their skills in thisarea as they matriculate through their chosen degree program. Many programs require only oneor two writing courses outside of the major. In addition, courses that require communication inthe form of laboratory reports often provide minimal feedback regarding appropriate writingstyle, the effective support of results with analysis, and maintaining efficiency in writing.In this paper, a new approach is presented that unburdens some of the responsibility from theinstructor to peer tutors outside of the engineering technology major who are skilled writers.Although this effort has been ongoing, with engineering technology students required to
