To help build a common foundation for all students from different English backgrounds/levels, such content might be included in a first semester required course. This paper describes how we developed, pilot-tested, and evaluated a strategy to integrate communication content into an online introductory engineering course of ~500 students. We developed an asynchronous curriculum covering micro (words and sentences), macro} (paragraphs, overall documents, and evidence-based writing), and professional (netiquette and tonality especially in emails) writing skills. Assessments’ results show that students mostly understood and applied macro and professional skills, and to a slightly lesser extent, micro writing skills. This indicates that they were more engaged in modules relevant to their engineering disciplines than basic English writing skills. Our analysis thus suggests that the integrated modules in this introductory course are essential to introduce discipline-specific communication skills to engineering students.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131179385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Professionally and academically, engineers need to communicate their work to their peers, clients, and managers. However, technical writing is generally not well addressed in the engineering curriculum. The goal of this study was to enhance the writing skills of chemical engineering B.Eng. students who took two core laboratory courses at an international engineering school where English is spoken as a second language. Our approach was to train the undergraduate students, train the graduate students in charge of grading the lab reports, revise the grading rubrics, and provide constructive feedback on the lab reports. To assess the success of our approach, we asked students to submit two writing assignments before and after our intervention, and submit their responses to our surveys at the end of the semester. The results showed that the majority of students and graduate assistants agreed on the positive impact of the intervention on students’ communication skills.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131357071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper considers 16 new codes of ethics created for engineers to follow as they design FRT considering its social implications. It contributes to the literature by providing insights into what domains and dimensions emerge from codes of ethics specifically designed to encourage accountability in FRT design. We searched several research databases and conducted Google searches to identify FRT codes of ethics published between 2010 and 2020. The search yielded 16 lists of principles. Analysis revealed that FRT codes of ethics retain many domains typical of engineering codes of ethics, including professionalism and abiding by industry standards. However, the nature of FRT also required additional domains, including rights, consent, and accountability. Themes not only invoked characteristics necessary for engineers to follow but also expected FRT characteristics, such as transparency about errors and bias. FRT codes of ethics show what the industry expects of the actor-network created by FRT deployments and the engineers who design them. FRT codes of ethics are closed-system symbolic and persuasive processes that establish collective perceptions derived from prescriptions from leadership or professional organizations.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115559426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the relationships between text and image in the discipline of mechanical engineering, the genre of the design report, and the context of a university first-year introduction to design module. The research question that underpins the study is: what do first-year engineering students’ choices regarding integration of language and image in a design report suggest about their engagement in the design process? Over 50 design reports produced by three consecutive cohorts of first-year mechanical engineering students were collected. These design reports were analysed using the integrative multi-semiotic model as an analytical framework. The analysis reveals that the students struggle to effectively integrate text and image in their design reports, and that the decisions they make reflect misconceptions regarding the content and context of engineering design. The paper reflects on how this might be used to inform teaching and learning and prepare engineers in training to successfully communicate with a wide variety of audiences, as is required of engineering degree programmes.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117028297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
