Course description
To be successful in your academic and professional life, you must be able to present ideas effectively both orally and in writing. This course provides instruction and practice in written and oral communication and emphasizes critical thinking as a necessary step in the process of expository writing. Class readings, which are drawn from the natural and social sciences, engineering, and the humanities, will provide the basis for writing projects and oral reports. The primary goal of this course is to enhance your ability to communicate effectively and intelligently in an academic setting and in the workplace. We have selected readings and videos, and have created writing assignments that address the guidelines of the HUM curriculum as well as subjects and issues associated with your section. Our aim is to introduce and reinforce the idea that engineering and the sciences are creative enterprises and that they rely foremost on one's ability to communicate.
