First-year engineering students not only have to grapple with academic discursive practices specific to their discipline, but they also have to learn genre-specific conventions. The engineering notebook is one such genre common in the field of engineering. This article describes specific teaching strategies employed in the delivery of a workshop designed specifically for first-year engineers. The purpose of the workshop was to equip novice engineers with engineering notebook conventions that constitute a major literacy practice in their respective discourse community.
Conventions spécifiques au genre du cahier d'ingénierie.
Les étudiants de première année d'ingénierie doivent non seulement se familiariser avec les pratiques discursives académiques spécifiques à leur discipline, mais doivent également apprendre les conventions propres à chaque genre. Le cahier d'ingénierie est l'un de ces genres communs dans le domaine de l'ingénierie. Cet article décrit les stratégies d'enseignement spécifiques utilisées dans le cadre d'un atelier conçu spécifiquement pour les ingénieurs de première année. L'objectif de l'atelier était de familiariser les ingénieurs novices avec les conventions du cahier d'ingénierie qui constituent une pratique d'alphabétisation majeure dans leur communauté discursive respective.
