UGA’s Franklin College Writing Intensive Program (WIP)administers the process by which courses acquire the “W” suffix (i.e., BIOE 2100W) andstipulates what is expected of such courses: The W suffix is used for courses taught as writing intensive, which means that the course includes substantial and ongoing writing assignments that a) facilitate learning; b) teach the communication values of a discipline — for example, its practices of argument, evidence, credibility, and format; c) support writing as a process; and d) prepare students for further writing in their

and require different assessment tools. Academic skills incomputation, engineering topics, and computer modeling are all necessary for successfulcompletion of a design project. However, successful design students must also masterprofessional skills such as oral and written communication, project management, teamworkskills, problem solving, and professional ethics. These skills can be difficult to teach in atraditional lecture format, but can be very naturally integrated into capstone design5. Sincecapstone design courses offer many opportunities for situated learning, they allow students tolearn these professional skills in a realistic context6.Given that these professional skills are necessary for a successful capstone design experience,one
teaching area. This feature allows instructors to showcampers online videos and demonstrations to compliment camp activities. For example, FLATEcamps use Stanford University’s website, http://manufacturing.stanford.edu/, “How EverydayThings Are Made” to relate to the manufacturing component of the camp.Next there are “warm and fuzzy” requirements. The drop-off area is an important example.Parents are used to seeing where their children go right after they are dropped off but want easyaccess off of the property, so select the child “docking station” with care. In addition, parentsfeel more confident when they have the opportunity to speak to someone who is not onlyknowledgeable, but who will actually be in attendance at the camp. Thus, make sure

Effectiveness and practicality of designs should be key components of the evaluation of students’ work.If design projects are used, students should be required to develop, follow, and periodicallyprogress report on their design developments.
