In the late 20th century, there was considerable interest in the writing process, largely from a cognitive perspective, notably Flower and Hayes (1981). However, with the widespread use of computer technology, there have been changes in academic writing processes in universities. In addition, little attention has been paid to the writing processes of STEM undergraduates. Through multi method research, this paper investigates the development of writing processes of STEM undergraduates in Lancaster University over degree programmes in different disciplines. The results firstly indicate the increasingly computer-mediated nature of their writing processes. Secondly, they demonstrate how writing processes diverge over degree programmes according to STEM discipline. The writing processes of first year undergraduates in different disciplines were similar, consisting of initial planning, computer-mediated and handwritten drafting and an emphasis on local revision, assisted by Microsoft Word. By the third year, their writing processes comprised recursive planning, largely computer-mediated multiple drafting, and, recursive and comprehensive (global and local) revision, which also involved high levels of peer literacy mediation. These results have helped to update our understanding of the writing processes of STEM undergraduates. There are also implications for how we teach writing and work with colleagues in STEM disciplines..
