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.
