Washington University (WWU) has initiated a research, design and build project thatis focusing on providing a fuel efficient, low floor, hybrid electric shuttle bus that is intended for avariety of applications. The primary R&D team is comprised of undergraduate students and facultyfrom the Engineering Technology (ET) Department and industry representatives from key areas. Thedesign process has intentionally followed a multidisciplinary approach which seeks to utilize skills andcapabilities from a range of students across the ET Department, and will soon reach out to work withstudents and faculty in the Chemistry, Decision Sciences and Marketing departments here on campus.The multidisciplinary team concept helps students to recognize the

growth. Until the 1960s, universities were focused on disciplinary rigor andpurity, so writing instruction was considered the domain of the English department. However,social change made the college classroom increasingly diverse, underscoring the need to providemore comprehensive writing instruction to students of all backgrounds and disciplines. WTLstrategies were useful because they prompt students to write for their own benefit, making coursematerial more meaningful. WTL is based on the premise that students learn through the act ofwriting, particularly when the writing assignments are short, informal, and designed to promotereflection, analysis, synthesis, and deeper understanding of course material. Examples of suchassignments include
