“…The use of wikis for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Special Purposes (ESP) has also been examined by some researchers. Various collaborative writing tasks were implemented in a course of Effective Communication in English (Kuteeva, 2011), in an ESP course for software engineering students (Bradley, Lindström, & Rystedt, 2010;Bradley, Lindström, Rystedt, & Vigmo, 2010), sociology students (Zorko, 2009) and students of accountancy (Alyousef & Picard, 2011) Lin & Yang, 2011), summary or essay writing on the wiki (Bradley, Lindström, & Rystedt, 2010;Elola & Oskoz, 2010;Kost, 2011;Kuteeva, 2011;Turgut, 2009;Wang, Lu, Yang, Hu, Chiou, Chiang, & Hsu, 2005;Wichadee, 2010), writing emails and letters (Kovacic et al, 2008) and report writing (Alyousef & Picard, 2011;Papadima-Sophocleous & Yerou, 2013;Zorko, 2009). Two studies described the production of an online picture book and a children's book on the wiki (Lee & Wang, 2013;Moreno, 2009), while two projects involved writing about culture (Kessler, 2009;Kessler & Bikowski, 2010).…”

“…Bonk et al (2009) discovered that while students accepted an internal critique partner easily, they had reservations about an external one from another institution. Wang et al (2005) investigated the relationship between the frequency of editing and students' performance in the final exam and found that students with low editing usage performed better. Nevertheless, no causality was implied and the need for further research was announced.…”

Abstract-Mechanical/Industrial Engineering students at Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering (ETSII) of TechnicalUniversity of Madrid (UPM) receive an in-depth knowledge of mechanical design and manufacturing processes, but the increasing interaction with other engineering branches, induces the need to integrate concepts which allow students to make an integral design of new products, and thereby facilitate their subsequent integration into multidisciplinary engineering teams in industry.Complex engineering projects are usually carried out by the assimilation of different work teams, which could even be located geographically distant. Collaborative Web environments are proven to be ideal knowledge repositories, as it has seen in Academia and in Industry. The work here presented reproduces the organization of actual engineering projects, and brings it into the classroom.This new way of developing Project Work documentation and discussion has helped students become self-directed learners who internalize specific topics from different subjects, programmes and courses with their own interests, and has been considered as an easy alternative to promote active learning, not only in this area but in other courses. This paper describes the experience of collaboration among students and teachers in order to develop multidisciplinary projects, and to reproduce as closely as possible, the team's integration into a company environment. A new methodology based on student interaction and content development in a Wiki environment has been developed. The collaborative server has allowed creating an "out-of-the-classroom" active discussion forum for students of different teams /topics, and to compile an important "project work" portfolio. This experience has been very satisfactory for students and teachers, who have participated with enthusiasm due to the exit of the welldistributed work and the easiness of use of the selected platform (Wiki). The quality of the developed projects has been dramatically improved due to the integration of the results provided by the different teams.
