• Resumen

  • Two essential higher education outcomes, the ability to write effectively and the development of the reasoning skills necessary for effective writing, are both specifically addressed by ABET and highly sought by employers. Since writing is typically taught in courses outside the engineering college, students often lack the ability to write and reason effectively within the discipline. An innovative system is described to close the loop on writing improvement by comprehensively assessing writing effectiveness and providing a means of strengthening the weak areas.
