“…A key issue in effective TPC pedagogy is student engagement, that is, attracting engineering students to TPC and making them aware of its importance in engineering practice. Apart from interdisciplinary collaboration, it is also useful to approach TPC from an engineering perspective, designing TPC programs that draw on engineering contents and design thinking (Shalamova, 2016;Lane, 2021). Such approaches can facilitate dialogue in interdisciplinary faculty collaboration as well as help students draw on their own skill sets and knowledge, integrating engineering knowledge and communication so as to produce written and spoken texts that can fulfil the expectations from both engineering and communication lecturers (apart from other audiences to which they may be addressed).…”

In the European Project Semester (EPS), communication is key. It is through continuous communication that project teams can plan and develop their projects, involving supervisors and companies in internationalized contexts. Furthermore, project outcomes are defined in the form of communication artifacts, typically a written report and an oral presentation, both of which are assessed in terms of their contents and communicative value. Set in the context of the EPS programme at UPC, this chapter situates TPC in engineering education and identifies communication practices as part of the professional practices of engineers. After presenting the main approaches to TPC in engineering, the chapter discusses how TPC is approached from a problem-solving perspective. The rationale and organization of the TPC course are presented, together with examples of tasks based on a practical methodology that promotes familiarization, practice, reflection and dialogue. From the principles discussed, a specific proposal is made for integrating TPC in EPS and similar capstone programmes. From an interdisciplinary perspective, this chapter reflects on the importance of TPC in engineering education, the requirements of globalized professional settings and the pervasiveness of digitalization, to discuss how engineering students can effectively engage in international engineering communication.

This article examines writing instructors’ processes for creating grading systems through the lens of liberatory design, an offshoot of the popular design thinking framework that focuses on creating equity-focused responses to complex problems. It uses a thematic analysis method to analyze seventeen interviews with writing instructors. The results indicate that instructors already use various design-based practices to create grading systems. However, the analysis also demonstrates opportunities to build stronger connections between these practices, to center student voices, and to approach the design problem more creatively. The article closes by illustrating potential liberatory design practices for creating grading systems.
