Abstract
Writing is a critical component in the field of engineering. Practicing engineers and engineering employers are keenly aware of the need to prepare undergraduate engineers for professional writing activities; however, the undergraduate engineering curriculum focuses almost exclusively on technical skills. Although writing activities are, in some cases, becoming increasingly integrated into the curriculum, writing is often viewed by undergraduates as a non-essential skill. This workshop could be delivered by either an engineering or a writing instructor and is designed to support an integrated engineering writing task such as a lab report, senior design project or journal article. By focusing on several pivotal writing skills that are appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate level engineering students, participants will receive practical strategies for building and crafting paragraphs and tools for self-editing tools to help increase the clarity of their writing. Although one writing seminar cannot address all of the issues and challenges of writing in engineering, it can provide an initial opportunity to create awareness of the importance of writing and provide practical resources to encourage continued growth.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
