Handbook

This course is designed to introduce communication strategies in the context of Engineering and build academic skills that will help you to progress through university. It will introduce you to the standard practices of an Engineering professional. Written documents are at the core of professional activity, and these must be clear and concise. Sound verbal attributes are also imperative in business. To this end, conventions are important for you to communicate effectively to a specific audience.

Students will improve their ability to collect and build ideas into coherent arguments, learn how to construct texts that demonstrate critical thinking, and develop their communication skills (speaking, listening, writing, & reading), in preparation for subsequent study in a professional context.

Students in a single Bachelor of Engineering degree can count this course towards their General Education requirements.
