In this paper, we briefly summarize the results of a needs analysis survey we had administered to doctoral students at a Czech engineering university prior to developing academic writing and information literacy courses for these students. But for these courses to catch on, we need to disseminate knowledge about writing development and pedagogies to audiences and higher education stakeholders who are largely unaware that writing can be taught because writing development and composition studies are not culturally embedded in the Czech education system. To draw attention to the courses and highlight their importance and appeal, we opted for a geocaching/ educaching game and show writing as a process, where students move through different stages on their journey to publication. The game thus creates situations, sending the players to different places along the way, including the library, journal editor’s office, or a conference.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"2 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132477589","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}

Empathy is an area of growing interest in engineering education and could be considered the first step towards engagement with the public to understand their needs. To work towards engaging engineering students in public welfare, humanities-focused courses like technical communication are an excellent place to begin these conversations. One pedagogical strategy for engaging students with real-world problems that affect the community is service learning. The service-learning project for this study required students to serve a not-for-profit client by adapting an instruction set for a target audience that the client was trying to reach. After the project with the client was complete, students reflected upon the experience in writing, which are the focus of this paper. This paper follows up a previous paper and builds upon the aggregated quantitative results presented there by presenting the results of the overall qualitative analysis to help understand those trends. This paper addresses the qualitative results of students’ written reflections to see what impact the project has on students’ empathy and engagement with public welfare.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121553916","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}
