Spring 2000

Gregory Rorrer, Proposer
Goals: To develop writing assignments that address ABET 2000 criteria regarding professional and ethical responsibilities (3f), and knowledge of contemporary issues (3j). Assignments will be integrated into four chemical engineering courses. Both writing-to-learn and formal writing in the discipline will be included. Assignments will be piloted in the four courses and assessed based on ABET 2000 criteria. Results will be reported to WIC and to the discipline through a manuscript to be submitted to Chemical Engineering Education.

Goal: To develop a writing guide for laboratory reports in chemistry in order to help undergraduate students in chemistry work towards writing reports in the standard American Chemical Society style and standard format. The guide will initially be distributed in junior and senior-level laboratories and published on the department website.

Goal: To develop a manual, "Ideas for Teaching about Difference, Power, and Discrimination through Writing," to distribute to participants in the DPD faculty seminar and to make available to faculty throughout the University.
