formation of anengineering identity is an area of increasing interest in engineering education research due to itslink to student retention, particularly for those underrepresented in the profession.In addition, industry demands that engineering graduates possess improved abilities tocommunicate in a variety of mediums and cross-culturally. Improved integration of writing intothe technical curriculum could serve as a concrete method to develop these critical skills andattributes while potentially improving student retention. Despite these numerous benefits andefforts to increase engineering writing through efforts like Writing Across the Curriculum, it seemsmost engineering programs do little to engage their students in meaningful writing.

These activities were integrated with other Universityplanning activities and led in 1990 to the creation of a self-study/planning steering committee.The committee, in turn, identified task forces for achieving continuity to the planning process.More than 120 NJIT people representing faculty, administration, staff, students, alumni, andexternal constituents were involved in the process.

This approach underscores the critical role of educators, who mustreceive robust professional development in AI to guide their students effectively.
