ENG 333 Communication for Science and Research

Jamie Larsen, Instructor

ENG 331 Communication for Engineering and Technology will introduce you to the kinds of communication tasks you can expect to perform after graduation and in the workplace; the course emphasizes the needs of various professional audiences, strategies of adapting organization and style to those needs, and ways of supplementing written communication with oral reports and visual aids.

This course fulfills the "advanced writing" option under the Writing and Speaking General Education Requirements requirements for many programs and students. For more detailed information, you can access Student Learning Outcomes and General Education Requirements Objectives for this course.

Enrollment is limited to students who are juniors and seniors because students who take the course earlier in their undergraduate programs lack two kinds of knowledge necessary for best performance in the course:

• knowledge of the subject matter of their major field, to provide them with material for their writing assignments; and
• knowledge of their potential professional roles, to provide them with an understanding of how and why communication occurs in industry, government, and research.

Students other than juniors and seniors do not perform well in these courses.

Typically, students majoring in the following fields enroll in this course (not a complete list):

Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Textile Engineering, Textile Technology
