institution’s responsibility centered management approach) is tied to retention. New facultycan identify this as a long-term strategy (once tenured) to limit teaching load.Reflecting on these initial thoughts it becomes clear that the main barriers to change relate to ourtraditional academic reward system. Over recent decades, engineering faculty have beenpromoted and tenured predominantly based on their accomplishments in research as return-on-investment becomes a key factor. Adding to this is that an economic-centered approach toeducation identifies that a non-tenure track/adjunct faculty member is much more cost-effectivethan a typical tenure-track faculty member. The former can often be paid less, will not take upmuch/if any research lab space and

. Before describing some specifics of our project, it is useful to reflect on past approaches to teaching core knowledge in the engineering curriculum. Literature suggests that it typically follows one of three models: 1) traditional; 2) integrated; 3) in-between [9,15,20,33]. In the traditional approach, core subjects are taught by faculty in their respective disciplines with little regard for the ultimate application. This approach, as cited earlier, is one of the reasons for low retention rates [6,15,17,19,31]. An integrated core approach is one where students learn multiple

Based on the well-acknowledged ef-fectiveness of the writing across the curriculum (WAC) and Writing-to-Learn (WTL) move-ments, this paper employs the intermingling of writing activities with coding, which has the po-tential to dramatically impact the programming learning process. We term this approach Writing-to-Learn-to-Program (WTLTP). Following our discussion of the WTLTP genre, we presenttechnologies that support the genre and discuss our future efforts to investigate the effectivenessof WTLTP in the classroom environment.

To achieve this integration, the approach aims to leverage VRlearning modules to simulate a variety of systems.
