Thus, none of our engineering departments appear to prepare theirTAs for writing instruction in their disciplines. (a) (b)Figure 1.

The main goals for the activities were to a) increase students’ recognition ofsocial-political factors and stakeholder diversity that influences engineering (Research Question1); b) develop students’ empathy for diverse stakeholders (not directly addressed in this paper);c) increase students’ appreciation of the complexity of socio-technical systems (ResearchQuestion 2).MethodsCourse History The study took place in a required sophomore-level course in a Civil and

(a is to b, as x is to y). Most often, we encounter analogy as a form of reasoning (“analogical reasoning”) aimed at persuading an audience. For example, a common refrain in U.S. political campaigns involves variations of the following analogy: “My opponent is a Democrat, and Democrats raise taxes. I’m a Republican, and Republicans don’t raise taxes. So vote for me and I won’t raise your taxes!” In engineering, analogical reasoning is a common strategy during the design and iteration process. Analogical reasoning, “a form of inference that allows us to derive implications from single cases even when we do not know all the factors involved,” enables engineers to make comparison-based predictions [33]. For example
