Specifically, we identify the key issues that surfaced, focusing the discuss.ion around three themes we saw as contributing to multidisciplinary success: participation level, role definition, and connections between interim processes/products and final deliverables. We conclude by sharing a series of initial recommendations and modifications established as we continue to improve this multidiscipfinary endeavor and reconfigure models for worlang in multidisciplinary teams. http://hdl.handle.net/10136/7 Title: Student Perceptions of Communication: Undergraduate Engineers' Views of Writing and Speaking in the Classroom and Workplace <br/> <br/>Authors: Dyke Ford, Julie <br/> <br/>Abstract: This article presents the results of a small-scale empirical study investigating engineering students’ perceptions of writing in the classroom and workplace. It asks questions regarding the types and frequency of documents engineering students have written in school and internship settings, and it reveals both the strategies used to complete those documents and the sites where they were learned, information which is supported by related literature. This article concludes with suggestions for addressing student perceptions of communication in engineering classrooms.
