this concept is not just a minor point or just schoolroom “groupwork.” In English, we took the concept of collaboration beyond a writing topic and had studentsuse collaborative writing to develop a team paper for their last assignment, which was a causalanalysis of an engineering failure. In this way, students had to use effective team skills to writeabout the engineering failure (which ironically often was related to a collaboration problem suchas poor communication). Because teaming skills are so crucial for success in the engineeringprofession, this concept is reinforced continuously in English class activities and essay topics.Another concept that is developed in both classes is that of ethics. For one English essayassignment, students are
