“…The class's aims, expectations, and outcomes were consistent with those of other engineering design courses across the United States (Atman et al, 2014). The larger ethnography explored the ways in which genres attuned students to the professional standards and ends of engineering and business (see Weedon, 2017Weedon, , 2020).…”

“…This article is a revaluation of work from an ethnographic study of a university engineering design course conducted by Weedon, portions of which have been published elsewhere (Weedon, 2017(Weedon, , 2020). Weedon's original aim in his ethnography was to understand, from the perspective of writing in the disciplines and technical communication (Russell, 2007), how student engineers learn to attend, through genres, to engineering problems in the way professional engineers might attend to them.…”

Using rhetorical genre theory, the authors theorize the engineering design process as a type of embodied genre enacted through typified performances of bodies engaged with discourses, texts, and objects in genre-rich spaces of design activity. The authors illustrate this through an analysis of ethnographic data from an engineering design course to show how a genred repertoire of embodied routines is demonstrated for students and later taken up as part of their design work. A greater appreciation of the interconnection between genre and design as well as the role of typification in producing embodied genres can potentially transform how writing studies conceive of and teach both design processes and genres in technical and professional communication settings.

“…Genre scholars already conduct comparisons across methods (Campbell et al, 2020;Miller et al, 2018;) or on larger data sets (Robles, 2018) as ways of confirming findings, but many open questions in genre can benefit from large-scale analysis. Genre scholars are interested in understanding how new genres work, particularly new genres on the internet (Mehlenbacher, 2019;Robles, 2018); how genre operates in multilingual and multinational settings (Hodges & Seawright, 2019); how emotions interact with genres (Miller et al, 2018;Weedon, 2020); and the evergreen concern of how to teach genres (Kim & Olson, 2020;Tardy et al, 2020).…”

Cultural self-awareness (what you learned about yourself from being on a transcultural team, open-mindedness, communication habits, your own cultural identity, empathy towards diversity, listening/understanding instead of jumping to conclusions, curiosity and discovery) • Exchanges with your partner (shared lived experiences, acknowledgement of partner's lived experiences, your expectations for the collaboration, communication habits, negotiation and compromise, conflict resolution) • Skills (adaptability to tools and technology, schedule negotiations, language use and nuances, creation of materials for various audiences, how you might use this experience in your future career) What did you learn about intercultural communication and collaboration this week?Note: Please write for at least one full page (more is better). You will write a total of 4 of these reflections, meaning each reflection will be worth 5 points. By the deadline, then, you will submit 4 pages (at minimum).
