This engineering education research initiation grant will investigate how to implement writing techniques that enable engineering students to develop broad technical problem-solving skills. Such problem solving is a key outcome of engineering degree programs. The techniques developed are expected to be easily incorporated into existing engineering degree programs.The broader significance and importance of this project will be in the area of student development, and creation of the engineering workforce. Student participants are expected to develop both as engineers and future researchers. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers through preparation of an engineering workforce with new capabilities and expertise. Additionally NSF's goal of innovating for society is enabled by supporting the development of innovative learning systems.

这项工程教育研究启动资助将调查如何实施写作技术，使工程学生能够发展广泛的技术解决问题。 解决问题是工程学位课程的关键结果。 预计开发的技术将很容易纳入现有的工程学位课程中。该项目的重要性和重要性将在学生发展领域以及工程劳动力的创建领域。 预计学生参与者将发展为工程师和未来的研究人员。 该项目与NSF的战略目标重叠，即通过准备具有新能力和专业知识的工程劳动力来改变前沿。 此外，通过支持创新学习系统的发展，NSF为社会创新的目标是实现的。
