In this approach, the students submit theirassignment excerpts at least two days before the workshop so that the peers and often a mentorhave the chance to read, reflect, edit, and

Writing through the Writing Studio ModelAbstractThis paper presents the results of a pilot collaboration between the University Writing Centerand a senior-level Electrical Engineering course. To address the growing need forengineering students to improve their written communications skills, the professor added aresearch project to their class. Students then participated in a required writing studio, awriting group of five to seven students who provide feedback to one another on their writingprocesses throughout the semester. The writing studios are facilitated by the UniversityWriting Center undergraduate peer tutors, some of whom are also engineering students.Research in writing studies show that simply assigning

is a matter of quite specific genres rather than of general skills and broad academic ordisciplinary styles; and iii) writing is a way to understand and remember technical material andengage in critical thinking (writing-to-learn) rather than just a means of communication. Theseprinciples can be integrated into technical courses using a variety of evidence-based bestpractices.The writing process can be modeled by using scaffolded assignments [22]–[27] and byemploying effective response systems for providing feedback and guiding revision [28]–[30],including peer evaluation [31], [32]. Effective response strategies foster dialogue with studentwriters, providing them with a small number of high-priority, focused points and highlightingspecific

By producing the first prototypes,students had an opportunity to understand the engineering challenges they may have to overcometo have fully functional prototypes if they decided to take their idea further.Building the prototype is a crucial first step to convince investors, customers and peers tointroduce, design and iterate products before being released to the markets. Having severaliterations is vital to get customers’ feedback and analyze strengths and weaknesses of the design.The collaboration between the writing course and EEP enabled the students to have a quickintroduction into

Negative experiences in team settings may cause women to feel less valued, different,and or emphasize the fact that they don’t belong, all factors that can lead to women leavingengineering [5]. Furthermore, women often “report feeling that they must work harder than theirmale peer to get teams to acknowledge the work they’ve done” [5]. In fact, men tend tounderestimate their women peers’ competence and knowledge in the classroom [6] and are likelyto dismiss what they view as female-typical speech acts [5].

These initial statements, combined with our experiences ofprevious years, help us to plan for workshops that we think will be needed by the current cohort.For example, in 2017, we had many more new participants joining us with diverse interests thanin previous years, so we placed a stronger emphasis on forming working groups at the beginning.In addition, these statements induct participants into the communicative guiding principle.While we do plan a schedule based on these initial interactions with participants, the

. Although the conventionalapproach is still important, lifelong and project-oriented learning for engineers is considered afundamental education in recent times5-7. Providing engineer training to meet this goal is quitechallenging. The degree to which the students develop skills depends on how they solveproblems, write reports, function in teams, self-assess and do peer-review, learn new knowledgeand adapt to changing professional expectations8-11. Recent research shows that engineer trainingand development of critical design skills can be facilitated by providing practice through severalmechanisms that would allow for critical thinking. Instructors should not only simplydemonstrate the problem solving, but also coach students to develop similar

, we demonstrate how thevarious experiments are integrated with a variety of writing assignments. In addition to traditionallaboratory or design reports, these include more compact forms of writing such as business letters,executive reports, and short essays. A key aspect to the course design is the combined lecture + lab-oratory format with small class sizes. This allows significant class time to be devoted to instructionon writing, developing drafts, peer review, and refinement.The course was designed to meet multiple ABET outcomes in addition to technical writing re-quirements from the university-level. Both indirect and direct metrics have indicated success inmeeting these outcomes, at least in the short term. The impact of the course on
