The FYW courses selected for this analysis includeda sequence of three student paper projects: a comparative genre analysis (CGA), a proposal foran original research contribution, and a final contribution paper. For the TC course, the first twoassignment genres were collected: a cover letter (part of a résumé and cover letter package for ajob application, a common assignment in technical communication service courses) and aproposal directed to a real decision maker (either a proposal to receive funding for a researchproject or a proposal to a campus

The students had the opportunity to work with multipleexperts from both within and beyond the university community, with expertise in designethnography, making, and museum exhibit design and fabrication.The major design challenge for the course involved exploring how people interact with commonspaces in the engineering buildings on campus and designing something to make these spacesmore engaging or welcoming. The students developed two solutions to this design challenge, oneinvolving a small remotely operated rover display situated near the entrance of one of theengineering buildings, and the other was an interactive stapling station designed for a well-utilized study space in another engineering building.

However, facilitating content and study environmentsthat enable students to practice formulating the equations to represent the physics and to relearnmath techniques outside of class has increased (anecdotal observation from a sample size of 15-20 students per year for >3 years) the proficiency and success of weaker students. The prevalence of cheating has been found to be as high as 80% with a higher percentageof students who cheat on assignments [1, 2]. After assigning and grading homework in the firstyear of this Advanced Transport Phenomena course, it became apparent that most students couldonly complete homework with the solutions manual open as a guide.

As a result, students who engage in WILs enhancetheir understanding of the cultures, norms, and skills essential to support their success in theworkplace environment [1]-[5]. In addition, these experiences tend to strengthen their technicaland interpersonal skills, which in turn have the potential to translate into improved academicperformance [6] and a broadened network [7]-[8]. As students work alongside engineers in thefield, they can take ownership of important projects that can influence their communities anddrive innovation and growth in a company [1],[7].

To understand the impact of the workshop onstudents, students were asked to reflect on which aspects of the workshop had the most impacton them. By far, the most common theme in students’ responses was an appreciation for the casescenario group discussion activity, which allowed students to engage with each other in smallgroups of six to eight people. Students noted that this activity sparked the sharing of ideas,ultimately resulting in a shift of conceptions about communication across cultures.
