Assessment
Writing Like an Engineer

  1. Abundant evidence of the ability to write consistently clear and well organized texts that are developed to the fullest degree suitable for the audience and purposes intended (to explain, question, persuade etc.).
  2. Texts consistently demonstrate the ability to adjust language, style and tone to address the needs and interests of a variety of audiences (e.g., expert, informed, general/lay audience) and to use a wide variety of forms which are commonplace among STEM disciplines (e.g., notes, descriptive / narrative accounts, research reports).
  3. Where required by convention, appropriate documentation in standardized form (e.g., APA) is consistently evident.

 

Essential Questions

  1. Throughout the entire portfolio, were the explanations, descriptions and information in each section developed and presented with a wide variety of readers in mind?
  2. Is my portfolio more of a scrapbook of disjointed or entries or is it a well written and documented account of my work throughout the design process?
