found that English and engineering can besuccessfully integrated in a way that benefits the students in each class. By carefullyconstructing an English curriculum that deliberately uses the strategies, concepts, and ideas fromengineering, we can help students overcome the notion that subject areas are separate notebookson a shelf that never connect. Instead, they can see connections between subjects and areas ofoverlap and areas of difference. The idea that writing, for example, is dependent on audienceand occasion begins to make sense and yet they see that the strategies they use to brainstorm,invent, and draft in writing their English assignments can also help them with their engineeringprojects. Although we have been unable to do formal

Our use of UAVs was motivated by theincreasingly common industry practice of using aerial systems for monitoring buildings andenvironments. We integrated this activity into an existing civil engineering elective course titled‘Heavy Construction Methods.’ In the classroom, students learned about the principles of UAVsand aerial photogrammetry. Students then practiced these principles by observing a UAV flight(conducted by a FAA licensed drone pilot), setting and recording coordinates for ground controlpoints, collecting field data, and using Autodesk software (Recap, Recap Photo, and Civil 3d

While many schools offer dedicated DSand SW courses, these courses are often not required and lack examples in the MSE domain,which can leave some students unaware of the applicability of these skills in MSE.We believe that there is an opportunity, given advancements in computing software and STEMpedagogy, to better integrate DS and SW practices into the MSE curriculum.

both focused writing instruction as well as integrated writingin the discipline (WID) (Petraglia, 1995). In fact, there are many arguments for including writingacross the engineering curriculum, and throughout an engineer’s education. First, it is proposedthat technical writing is best learned in the context of the technical material being communicated(Buzzi, Grimes, & Rolls, 2012). When writing is only addressed in a communications course, itperpetuates the myth that writing is not an important part of actual engineering. The inclusion ofwriting in technical courses stresses the importance of writing to developing engineers andencourages them to develop the necessary proficiency desired by employers. Second, proficiencyin technical
