We developed combined graduate and undergraduate courses in which undergraduates created a prototype based on user-centered design, and graduate students worked with them to evaluate those prototypes based on common usability principles. It provided undergraduate students experience practicing user centered design, while providing graduate students experience with usability evaluation. It also provided graduate students the opportunity to introduce current HCI research areas to students who may be considering graduate school. The course successfully engaged both graduate and undergraduate students while providing a beneficial experience through their interactions.

“Good luck on your first day as an assistant professor, Dr. Tanner! Have a great class!” On the wall above my desk, these words scream out from an otherwise encouraging note that is adorned with many exclamation points. This note has hung on my wall since my very first day as an Assistant Professor of Biology. As I was charging off to teach my first class, a senior faculty member who had been on my hiring committee slipped this note under my office door. In moments of pause years later, I still stare up at that note and breathe a sigh of relief that I had much more than luck to guide me on my first day as a college-level teacher. Although I continue to have much to learn—as all of us do no matter the number of years of teaching experience—I did arrive at the university with both formal and informal training in science education. I had had plenty of exposure to innovative pedagogical approaches, questioning strategies, and techniques for engaging diverse audiences in learning science. As a scientist educator, I had had the privilege of many years of collaboration with outstanding K–12 educators as well as a postdoctoral fellowship in science education. However, my training has been, to say the least, unconventional compared with that of my fellow junior faculty and unique in its preparation in regard to the teaching and learning of my discipline. It will not be news to anyone reading this article that university and college teaching is to a large extent a profession with no formal training. It’s startling but true that the majority of faculty members—and lecturers who often teach large numbers of students—have no formal training in the teaching and learning of their discipline. In fact, the hiring process in university science departments is structured primarily to evaluate a faculty candidate’s ability to be a productive researcher, with success measured in number of publications and magnitude of grant funds raised. Depending on the type of institution, for example, research university, state-level university, or liberal arts college, there may be a component of the faculty interview process that probes a candidate’s teaching ability, for example, requesting a statement of teaching philosophy and requiring the candidate to teach a sample lecture class. However, this sample lecture often screens for gross inadequacies, rather than looking for stellar innovations or pedagogical skills. This lack of formal, accredited training for university and college instructors stands in stark contrast to the requirements for a high school teacher who is charged with the education of students only a year junior to college freshmen. High school teachers in the United States must be credentialed as a secondary science teacher, demonstrate subject matter competency in every subject that they will be teaching, and must continually engage in professional development in the teaching and learning of their discipline throughout their career as a science teacher. With the 2002 federal No Child Left Behind legislation, the onus is upon each precollege science teacher to become “highly qualified” in terms of formal university-level training in science education. However, no such required professional training or measurable standards for teaching are required in institutions of higher education. Many policy documents have suggested standards of teaching practice in postsecondary science education (National Research Council, 1996, 1997; Siebert and McIntosh, 2001), but the extent of implementation of these ideals is unclear and has gone relatively unstudied, although national and regional accreditation boards do look at outcomes, asking colleges and universities to assess what their students have gained from four years of study at their institutions. Nonetheless, there is a striking reversal of accountability that happens when one crosses the precollege teaching to college-level teaching boundary (Table 1). During the K–12 school years, society expects K–12 teachers to be responsible for student learning. Salaries of teachers in many states are tied to student test scores, and poor student performance can potentially invoke penalties. At a college or university, several variables in the educational universe shift. Students are the ones responsible for learning. The evaluation and compensation of college-level teachers is not DOI: 10.1187/cbe.05–12–0132 Address correspondence to: Kimberly Tanner (kdtanner@sfsu.edu).

Background : Environmental impact studies often enlist professional communicators to develop and implement public engagement plans and processes. However, few detailed reports of these public engagement plans exist in either scholarly venues or government reports. This case reviews one public engagement project in transportation planning as implemented by one professional communications firm. Research questions: 1) What communication and engagement strategies do the consultants employ in their public engagement process? 2) How do professional communicators design engagement for diverse citizen groups? Situating the case: A number of cases have revealed the ways professional and technical communicators integrate participatory or user-centered design strategies in public engagement projects. These cases suggest that professional and technical communicators are uniquely positioned to develop ethical and effective public engagement plans for environmental impact studies. Professional and technical communicators are further prepared for this work because of their knowledge about theories of intercultural communication and rhetorical theories of delivery. Methodology: This case was studied over the course of 1.5 years using qualitative research methods, including observations, interviews, and textual analysis. About the case: This case reviews the work of one particular public engagement firm, VTC Communications, as they planned and implemented public engagement in one environmental impact study. This environmental impact study team was tasked with determining the best way to accommodate the increase in rail traffic the city anticipated with the development of the high-speed rail. The public's input was needed to fulfill environmental impact statement (EIS) requirements and to fully understand the community concerns regarding the increased traffic, noise, vibrations, and family/business displacements. VTC Communications was hired to conduct this portion of the environmental impact study, and their work included the development of a range of deliverables and events. Conclusions: This case provides an overview of the process of developing public engagement plans, the deliverables designed, as well as the key goals that guided the development of public engagement. My case suggests that effective public engagement can address intercultural concerns by developing projects that are adaptable, multimodal, and dialogic.

A questionnaire was sent to all 51 Society of American Foresters accredited and candidate programs in the U.S. to compile information on undergraduate and graduate forest soils courses. Responses from 94% of the schools, as well as catalog information, provided the quantitative data for this compilation. About half of the programs offered an upper level undergraduate forest soils course, and one‐third offered a graduate level forest soils course. The highest percentage of programs offering undergraduate courses was in the North Central region (64%), whereas the highest percentage offering graduate programs was in the South (47%). The dominant forest soils textbook used was, Properties and Management of Forest Soils , by W. L. Pritchett, although most graduate courses relied on outside readings and did not have a required textbook. Most undergraduate and graduate courses required a laboratory of 3 to 4 h per week, with both indoor and outdoor exercises emphasized. Most students enrolled in forest soils courses were forestry majors, and most courses were taught within forestry programs.

Programs in technical and professional communication are continually challenged by issues of location and dislocation. Historic changes and interdisciplinary initiatives are in progress at colleges and universities worldwide. The five articles of this special issue will offer a portrait of the multiple ways that technical communication programs are positioning themselves to do innovative teaching and research.

Because of accreditation, budget, and accountability pressures at the institutional and program levels, technical and professional communication faculty are more than ever involved in assessment-based activities. Using assessment to identify a program's strengths and weaknesses allows faculty to work toward continuous improvement based on their articulation of learning and behavioral goals and outcomes for their graduates. This article describes the processes of program assessment based on pedagogical goals, pointing out options and opportunities that will lead to a meaningful and manageable experience for technical communication faculty, and concludes with a view of how the larger academic body of technical communication programs can benefit from such work. As ATTW members take a careful look at the state of the profession from the academic perspective, we can use assessment to further direct our programs to meet professional expectations and, far more importantly, to help us meet the needs of the well-educated technical communicator.

Understanding the law and its impact on the practice of technical communication has been an important scholarly thread in technical and professional communication (TPC) for more than two decades. Technical communicators recognize the impact of their work on stakeholders as well as the potential liability issues associated with composing technical communication documents. While this scholarship is widespread, relatively few pedagogical resources are available to prepare students for success in a litigious world or to guide instructors in teaching legal writing. This article offers a case study of a legal writing course that prepares TPC students to develop legal literacy and succeed in the workplace.

As an undergraduate German major in the late '80s and early '90s, I was told that employment prospects in post-secondary education would be exceptionally good for my generation of students. When I began a PhD program in 1993, however, it was already becoming apparent that these predictions were not entirely accurate. I heard sobering reports that the number of new PhDs produced outnumbered the number of new vacancies considerably, not to mention the recent PhDs who remained unemployed or in adjunct positions. Either the anticipated retirements were delayed, or existing faculty lines were being eliminated upon the retirement of their holders. Despite the general consensus that employment outlooks were bleak, I resolved to complete the PhD program and to pursue an academic career. There were and still are no guarantees of tenure-track appointments for new PhDs, but I remain confident that graduate students and junior faculty who are sufficiently committed to the profession and receive the necessary training, guidance, and support from their departments and mentors can create a niche for themselves in today's and tomorrow's Germanistik/German Studies. Because I am personally in the transitional phase from graduate student to visiting assistant professor to tenure-track assistant professor, I will share my pragmatic views on some practical measures which I believe might ensure the vitality of a strain of German Studies which can continue to attract and retain students at all levels, and in turn permit a new generation of PhDs to continue in their chosen profession. While a graduate student, I served as graduate student representative on the departmental Self Study Review Committee. This granted me the opportunity to see our own programs from a variety of different perspectives: those of graduate and undergraduate students in the department, of faculty and administration, and of external reviewers. By participating in a single case study of the past, present, and projected future of a single German program, I gained an understanding of the widely varied and often-competing interests which both departments and individual faculty and students must negotiate in the attempt to ensure the continued integrity and vitality of our profession. The seemingly irreconcilable nature of these competing interests is most apparent in discussions of enrollments. With the advent of responsibility-based (or market-driven) budgeting systems, we frequently hear from above that we are too expensive, that especially graduate courses are under-enrolled. While a simple remedy might be to increase the number of graduate students admitted into German graduate programs, the MLA and others have cautioned that it is unconscionable to produce PhDs far in excess of the number of projected available academic positions. One possible solution to this dilemma would be the development of attractive alternate master's degree programs, for example a combined MBA and German MA, or master's degrees in Education and German. In addition to recruiting degree students in German, graduate programs can increase enrollments by developing courses which attract students from History, Art or Music History, Philosophy, Comparative Studies, Women's Studies, Jewish Studies, etc. While this would necessitate teaching in English translation, additional discussion sections can easily be offered in German for students who need to develop their language skills further. Many graduate schools are also encouraging the development of graduate minors, including interdisciplinary minors. Interdisciplinary minors would serve the dual purpose of increasing enrollments in German graduate courses and promoting collaborative projects (research projects and publications, conferences and symposia) among participating programs in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. Conversely, German graduate students should be encouraged likewise to pursue graduate minors and specializations in related fields. …

PurposeMultimodal writing portfolios were introduced and integrated into an undergraduate course and a graduate course in a research-oriented university in northwest Taiwan. This study aims to examine the influence of multimodal writing portfolios of novice researchers' academic writing.Design/methodology/approachComparative case studies involve collecting data from several cases and analyzing the similarities, differences and patterns across cases (Merriam, 2009). To address this underdeveloped area of research, a comparative case study method was employed to understand undergraduate and graduate students' multimodal writing portfolios in academic writing in two courses in Taiwan.FindingsFirst, multimodal writing portfolios enabled novice researchers to be more familiar with the structure of academic paper and they had better performance in intrapersonal and linguistic aspects. Second, novice researchers held positive attitude toward multimodal writing portfolios because they regarded process of making multimodal writing portfolios as preparation for their future academic writing. Finally, participants highly valued the class PowerPoint slides, weekly writing tasks and the instructor's modeling as effective facilitation for making multimodal writing portfolios.Research limitations/implicationsLimited studies focus on multimodal writing portfolios (e.g. Silver, 2019). The present case study explores the integration of a multimodal writing portfolio into one undergraduate and one graduate course to explore learners' attitude and performance in academic writing.Practical implicationsNovice researchers can learn to compose multimodal academic texts for the academic writing community.Social implicationsSuggestions on effective integration of multimodal writing portfolios into academic writing instruction were provided based on the research findings.Originality/valueThe findings of the study provide the field of L2 writing with insights into the pedagogical development of multilingual writing portfolios and help educators to be better prepared for teaching novice researchers to comprehend and compose multimodal texts and enter the academic writing community. The framework in Figure 1 and suggestions on course designs for academic writing can inform educators on the integration of multimodality in academic discourse. Moreover, this study moves beyond general writing courses at the tertiary level and could contribute to L2 writers' deeper understanding of how multimodal writing portfolios can be constructed.

Industry’s efforts to develop routine and systematic usability testing programs for documentation have been hampered because professional communication has yet to develop a coherent theory of usability. Recent criticisms of usability research design assumptions and test management methods are symptoms of this condition. In a review of twenty-two experimental usability studies published in books and journals between 1980 and 1989, Mire1 (1991) concludes that the failure of investigators to effectively base their usability research designs on the findings of earlier investigations has resulted in a lack of coherence among studies. This situation limits what can be said confidently concerning our understanding of usability in hard copy documentation. She also criticizes investigators for failing to use more heterogeneous groups of test subjects, a design weakness that limits our ability to generalize across populations of users. A second study has examined some of the factors that constrain usability testing in the work environments of three high-technology companies. (Skelton 1992) Testing in these fis is not a routine measure of product quality. It tends to be done on an ad hoc basis by writers and editors who, in most instances, also develop the tested document. The tests are usually administered late in the product development cycle and are often conducted only once. The numbers of communicators experienced in usability testing is relatively small for each company. In general, testing is limited significantly by budget and staff constraints, even though all the respondents in the study who had participated in usability testing programs agreed that testing should become a routine part of product development. Although two of the companies had started training communicators to do their own testing, some of the respondents resisted this idea, citing the demands of their present duties as the reason. Its value not yet determined, usability testing has received a tentative endorsement at best from the three businesses in this study. What we have, then, is a Catch-22. It appears that the managers and communicators in the study summarized above remain reluctant to commit more financial, professional, and personal resources to expand what is now essentially a trial-and-error process that can complicate as well as enhance product development. Yet, the expansion of in-house resources for usability testing development is essential if testing is to receive a fair hearing in the corporate board room. How would a theory of usability change this situation? It would have to support decisions concerning the way we allocate and use testing resources. The theory would need to identify what happens when readers interact with text. It would have to describe the principal components of comprehension and explain how they function in order to support decisions concerning test design, administration, and interpretation. The van Dijk-Kintsch strategic model of discourse comprehension (1983) is a step toward such a theory. Unless otherwise stated through citations, most of the material in the following discussion of the model has been derived from Strategies of Discourse Comprehension, by van Dijk and Kintsch.

A modern approach to graduate flight dynamics, stability, and control courses

This paper reports the findings of an exploratory study of engineering students' perceptions of reflection and independent learning before and after taking a mandatory technical communication course titled Professional and Technical Oral Communication for Engineers in their first semester of study at a university in Hong Kong. Three kinds of research instruments were used to generate data for analyses: pre- and post-questionnaire surveys, semi-structured interviews, and students' reflection and self-access records. The study's findings show encouraging results in three ways: (1) the course participants were generally receptive to the ideas of reflection and independent learning in the context of technical communication; (2) those who had had prior experience in reflection and independent learning continued to appreciate the value they brought to learning; and (3) the course participants' pre-conception that reflection and independent learning were only `one-man shows' was changed and they began to value the involvement of their `significant social others' in these learning pursuits.
