Technical Communication for Engineering Professionals

"Technical Communication for Engineering Professionals" will provide students with opportunities to improve their English language skills, particularly in the area of technical communication: the process of creating, designing, and transmitting technical information so that people who may be unfamiliar with engineering terms and practices can understand the information easily and use it effectively and efficiently. The anticipated outcome is that students will have the language skills necessary to independently facilitate their own successful participation in further professional or academic activities.

 

This course continues from the foundation built in the “English for Engineering Professionals” course in the areas of writing and oral communication, and will focus on refining effective strategies for clear, concise technical communication. The program content also incorporates grammar and culture elements relevant to internationally educated engineering professionals working in Canada.
