Advanced Writing for Engineers

Catalog description

"Advanced Writing for Engineers (AWE) is designed to help you build on and apply what you've learned in Writing the Essay to your future path. Like Writing the Essay, AWE is a participatory writing seminar that centers on discussion, revision, and reflection. Each AWE theme includes at least one essay assignment and emphasizes research skills, ethical source-use, and multimodal communication. Further, in AWE, you will practice the kinds of writing and communication that STEM professionals use in upper-level courses and in their careers, such as proposals, business plans, and presentations. There is also a greater emphasis on teamwork and multimodal projects. Still, be advised that AWE is not a technical writing course: these assignments will require the same creativity, revision, and reflection as the essays you wrote in Writing the Essay. Prerequisite: EXPOS-UA 1 (Writing the Essay) or EXPOS-UA 4 (International Writing Workshop I, with EWP approval)."
