The “CoP meeting” described here was a first meeting of a group of looselyknit participants in an NSF-funded project to study engineering laboratory report writing with awriting transfer lens. Participants at the meeting had engaged directly with at least one of thethree institutional principal investigators (PIs) to supply student writing samples from theirlaboratory-based courses. The five participating instructors, representing the mechanical,electrical, and civil engineering disciplines, had used a series of instructional modules preparedby the PIs to improve their
