Extending Wid To Train Mechanical Engineering Gtas To Evaluate Student Writing, Nancy Barr
Extending Wid To Train Mechanical Engineering Gtas To Evaluate Student Writing, Nancy Barr
Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics Publications
Beyond first-year composition, the typical undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum provides few opportunities to develop writing skills without a concerted effort by faculty to incorporate writing into their courses. One underutilized path for BSME students to strengthen those skills is the required sequence of laboratory courses, where students write several lab reports, evaluated by graduate teaching assistants (GTAs), many of whom speak English as a second language. Historically, engineering GTAs have not been trained in evaluating student writing in a way that helps students improve their technical communication skills, a method known as formative assessment. Formative assessment can be a key …
