Write from the Start: presentation and paper
"Write from the Start: Mixed-Methods Results of a Collaboration between a First-Year Biomedical Engineering Class and a University Writing Center.” American Society for Engineering Education, Baltimore, MD, June 26, 2023. I delivered this co-authored presentation at the ASEE conference. The paper may be accessed through the link.
For mixed-methods results from a collaboration between a first-year biomedical engineering class and a University Writing Center, check out this ASEE paper: Write from the Start in Engineering: Mixed Methods Results.

Engineering Sentences: A Cross-Disciplinary Training Program
Although Cockrell School of Engineering (CSE) undergraduates take a required engineering writing class, which I teach for Chemical Engineering, they typically struggle with writing laboratory and long-form research reports. Helping CSE students to overcome this obstacle matters because writing technical reports prepares engineering students for the writing-intensive work of a professional engineer. Faculty teaching these classes would also benefit from higher quality student work.
