Nicklow Southern Illinois University CarbondaleAbstractThis paper provides an overview and assessment of a technical writing assignment for a course inHydraulic Engineering Design. The writing exercise was dually intended to promote furtherinterest in the field of hydraulic engineering and improve students’ abilities to create a technicalcommentary for a broader, but not necessarily technical, audience. Students selected topics earlyin the semester and were asked to prepare a preliminary draft of their

Such a restriction could impair students' ability to approach engineering challenges in various sectors with flexibility or to adapt to new technologies. • Assessment and Evaluation: Evaluating students' competencies in both programming and mathematical analysis introduces a layer of complexity to the grading process. It may become challenging for educators to discern if students' difficulties arise from programming, understanding mathematical principles, or integrating both. This complexity risks masking the true nature of students' learning challenges, potentially complicating the provision of effective support. 3. Course Overview:The "Mathematical Analysis" course at
Association of Colleges and Employers has also identified some skills that studentsshould demonstrate in order to be career ready, which include career/self-development,communication, critical thinking, equity and inclusion, leadership, professionalism, teamwork,use of technology, financial literacy, time and stress management, digital citizenship, and abilityto acquire practical knowledge.

Effective engineering education along with extra-/co-curricular activities including but not limited to undergraduate research, professionalorganization, service and community based learning, study abroad programs, internships, andjobs noticeably help students be ready for their future careers since those enhance students’motivation and skills [4], [5

Fortunately, the ME faculty at Montana StateUniversity were sympathetic to journaling, and agreed to re-institute them if I could providesupport. To date, I know of no other study that uses journals to investigate design processes(although certainly design journals are in use in many design courses7-9), so this is new territory.We’ve collected journals for three semesters (Fall 2000, Spring 2001, and Fall 2001) and nowhave over 70 journals on 21 projects.
