通过将写作纳入工程课程，我们可以实现几个重要的教育目标。写作允许学生发展和使用批判性思维技能。它促进了主动学习，满足了不同学习风格学生的需求。它是评估学生理解能力的一种独特而有力的工具。当写作作为一个过程来展示时，它在工程教育中变得特别有用。写作和设计过程之间的相似性可以用来强调这样一个事实，即在这两个过程中通常都没有单一的“正确”解决方案，反馈和修改通常对两者都至关重要。最后，当工程专业毕业生能够有效地沟通时，我们这个行业的地位就会提高。本文提供了我们在过去三年中如何在课程中使用写作的具体例子，以及它如何提高这些课程的成果。
By incorporating writing in engineering courses, we can move toward several important educational goals. Writing allows students to develop and use critical thinking skills. It enhances active learning and addresses the needs of students with different learning styles. It is a uniquely powerful tool for assessing student understanding. Writing becomes particularly useful in engineering education when demonstrated as a process. Similarities between the writing and design processes can be used to highlight the fact that there is often no single “correct” solution in either and that feedback and revision are often crucial to both. Finally, the status of our profession is enhanced when engineering graduates can communicate effectively. This paper provides specific examples of how we have employed writing in our courses over the last three years and how it has served to enhance outcomes in these courses.
