Abstract
The advancement of engineering education within English-medium environments underscores the need for tailored English for Academic Purposes (EAP) resources that address the linguistic, communicative, and technical needs of engineering students. This study presents a need-based model for EAP material development, focusing on personalized approaches to enhance learning efficacy and engagement. By analyzing data from surveys, interviews, and classroom observations with both students and instructors, this research identifies specific language skills and knowledge areas necessary for engineering students. The model includes vocabulary selection, genre-specific writing practice, and multimodal learning tools aligned with EAP objectives. Findings demonstrate that need based, personalized EAP resources in engineering contexts can enhance students' academic and professional communication capabilities. Practical recommendations are provided for developing EAP materials suited to engineering disciplines.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
