We propose a new active learning activity called “slecture” (a contraction of the words “student” and “lecture”). In this activity, students create online lectures based on the in-class lectures of their course instructor, and post these online lectures on a publicly accessible website. As an experiment, slectures were integrated into the mandatory assignments of a large engineering graduate course...
Many beginning international graduate students in engineering often need extra support in learning to write basic academic English, yet advanced writing-for-publication courses seem to be more prevalent than writing courses dealing with more fundamental issues. A new course, situated within a particular engineering discipline, attempts to bridge this gap by introducing these students to several common...
Undergraduate engineering programs have struggled in recent years to add communication skills to an already crowded curriculum, and many engineering students are reluctant writers. Because these students produce copious and frequent written text through Web 2.0 technologies, capitalizing on this passion in the context is a way to add more writing to the curriculum. This paper discusses the ongoing...
