4. Course Syllabus Course Description:
English Technical Writing, is designed to teach engineering students how to effectively communicate technical information. Specifically, it helps students learn how to report technical information to a non-technical audience in both oral and written formats. We will work to better understand and develop our writing process, composing with word and image. Students will learn to take advantage of the new electronic resources in discovering information and communicating it to others
