Welcome!

Welcome to the School of Engineering's Technical Communications Program Web site. The program helps engineering students improve their writing and speaking skills and prepares them for the communications demands of the engineering profession.

"Technical ability is obviously crucial to success in an engineering career. But of equal importance is the ability to communicate clearly and effectively. Individuals who rise to leadership positions in organizations generally do so partly because they can express ideas orally and in writing in persuasive, concise ways. Stated another way, it's hard to get a group of people excited about an idea or a new product or a research objective, if these things cannot be communicated in a compelling way."
