the institution. The delay in enrollment would seem to suggest that students do not value thetechnical writing course as a mechanism of supporting their engineering education, despite a highrating of importance (3.6/4.0). Also, while students rate the skill as being important for their career(3.6/4.0), the students do not enroll in the course as sophomores (as intended by their plan of study)which could assist them in any co-op or internship experiences later in their college career. Thisdelay of enrollment undermines the intent of the program of study for all engineering programs atthe institution.While students showed an increase in confidence over the course of the semester, that did notcorrespond with a perceived increase in skill

IntroductionOver the last few decades, a number of different approaches have been developed to exploit IT toolsand systems in education at all levels from K-12 to undergraduate engineering programs throughcorporate training. While each of these systems and approaches has its own particular goals anduses its own specific methods to achieve them, they can be broadly classified into two groups whichmay be called knowledge-centered approaches and activity-centered approaches respectively.
