Abstract

where he teaches courses in technical, professional, and scientific rhetoric as well as literature. His research explores a variety of intersections among narrative, rhetoric, science, and technology, and has appeared in SubStance, Contemporary Literature, and IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. Anneliese Watt, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Anneliese Watt, Associate Professor of English at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, currently serves as Technical Communication Course Coordinator. She teaches writing, public speaking, and humanities elective courses to engineering and science students. Her graduate work in rhetoric and literature was completed at Penn State, and her recent research often focuses on engineering and workplace communication.

Panel session - pen-based computing in the engineering and science classroom: Implementation scenarios from three institutions

“…[1] As the research into pen-based computing pedagogies grows, we see the potential of the technology to change fundamentally the technical classroom. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] As the panelists demonstrate how they are implementing pen-based computing in their institutions, they also share best practices that have emerged through their experiences. In addition to the technology demonstration, we plan to discuss the pedagogical implications that result from the implementations, drawing on two years of assessment data that we collected in these courses.…”
