This is done primarily due to the heavy writing component and the need for facultyfeedback on students’ writing skills. Significant out-of-class time is devoted to each student inthe development of critical written communication skills. Further, while engineering studentsoften have developed sufficient technical writing skills by the Spring quarter of their Junior year,policy writing to targeted audiences is substantially different that writing laboratory or designproject reports. For this first class offering it is of interest to note that the class enrollment was 25students, with several additional students requesting

Results of the analyseswere shared between classes by the students. Teaching and learning effectiveness were evaluatedusing direct assessment (homework assignments and laboratory reports) and indirect assessment(student self-perception surveys and oral presentations) methods.
