Catalog description

This course is designed to improve oral and written methods of communication related to technology, engineering, and science. Common forms of professional technical communication (e.g. emails, memoranda, white papers, standard operating procedures, customer presentations, and technical brochures) as well as more advanced technical communication (e.g. posters, patents, research articles, academic presentations, books, dissertations, engineering drawings, Bills of Materials, technical standards, and engineering specifications) are emphasized. Course topics will review vocabulary, grammar, writing, reading comprehension, speaking and presentation skills to help students succeed in graduate level studies while also gaining necessary job-related skills.
