study investigated howstudents perceive the importance and utility of these experiences by exploring the ways inwhich students’ attitudes toward group work changed through experiences on technicalteams. For the purposes of this study, the terms “team” and “group” will be usedinterchangeably.ABET, the accreditation board for university programs in applied sciences, computing,engineering, and technology, identified communication skills and teaming as twoimportant qualities students should develop during their engineering education. It is nolonger enough for engineering students to graduate with technical skills and sufficientknowledge. They must have the skills and abilities necessary to communicate effectivelyand function adequately on

In that regard, the electrical engineeringcurriculum has used simulations to assist student learning for more than two decades. A strongargument for the use of circuit simulators in the classroom can be found in [3], where the authorsargue the superiority of the ‘learn by doing” approach to teaching circuit analysis. A more recentexample of this teaching paradigm can be found in [4] where circuit simulation software iscombined with Mathcad to permit student interactive experimentation.Incorporation of projects into lecture classes provides an added mechanism to align thecurriculum with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET

for this is that students may carry the belief that writing is notimportant in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Anothersimilar reason could be that the required university composition course was focused onelements of writing that may not have been perceived as relevant in STEM fields. Often it isindustry partners that drive the need to improve student writing and address changes in thewriting curriculum for engineering courses. One way to explore and improve the writing needsof engineers is through genre theory and/or genre analysis.Genre Theory and Genre Analysis Genre, according to Miller (1984, 2014), is something that defines the context forwhich a piece of writing is written.
