Some of these refinements have been reported in an ITiCSE panel [53]and research paper [54], as well as in a SIGCSE special session [55] and poster [56].One significant observation from the pilot study was that students rated every disposition as maxi-mally important for their career and course, except for adaptable and collaborative. This is likelybecause questions on dispositions elicited idealized responses from students. To avoid such re-sponses, the rating questions on the pre- and post-survey were changed to refer to behaviors insteadof dispositions. Students rated their application of dispositions in course assignments statisticallysignificantly

Of course, thisrequired major restructuring of the English Department, which phased out the technical writingcourses being offered. Since engineering relied upon these courses for all of its disciplines, thisforced a re-thinking of how students would receive this type of skill.The loss of technical writing was not met with a sense of loss of historic proportions becausethere had been many engineering faculty members who had already questioned the value of thisresource.
