Course Description: This course will help you to hone the critical reading and thinking, research, and writing you will need to succeed in all of your writing courses and specifically your engineering courses. This course is also preparing students to write as engineers in professional environments. We will examine, analyze, and create various types of technical communication such as: memos, letters, instructions, definitions, descriptions, designs, proposals, and presentations. You will learn to synthesize information, find answers, and present ideas to some of the different audiences you will encounter. Learning to write well will enable you to present yourself in the best possible light in all situations. You will learn how to communicate your knowledge, plans, and ideas in a professional manner. Our time in this course will focus on reading and listening, essential steps in the writing process, effective writing, synthesizing material from various sources, and the ability to locate and evaluate relevant library and online research. We will also examine how writing is impacted by the elements of the rhetorical situation. By the end of the course, students should be confident in utilizing this knowledge in the construction and completion of a writing portfolio and self assessment.
How This Course Works: Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, this fall 2020 semester will be conducted in a unique way. For students, this means that our class meetings will usually take place synchronously, or at the scheduled time in the “virtual classroom” on Zoom where attendance will be taken. There will also be days that the class will meet asynchronously, where there will be no “formal meeting,” but there will be an assignment due and that will count as both attendance and classwork grad for the day. You will be notified in advance. The traditional, literal, face to face (f2f) classroom meetings are being temporarily replaced by zoom meetings in the virtual classroom. Hopefully, this won’t change too much of your class experience. This class is also heavy on group work. Groups will be determined by the instructor and will remain throughout the semester (barring any unusual occurrences). Between group work and distance learning, students might find that this experience mimics the way that engineers work in “real life.” Students will still be responsible for attending all scheduled f2f classes on zoom and handing in all work ON TIME and properly done, via email or on Blackboard. You will also be responsible for posting projects and presentations in specific folders and also posting responses to these projects. I will let you know when these postings are due, keep in mind they are mandatory as they are part of your homework and participation grades. Asynchronous assignments will also have time sensitive deadlines. These responses can transfer to discussions held in class, so they must be thought provoking and thorough. However, it is extremely important for students to attend all in synchronous class meetings as well, as these meetings are when students will learn the required genre work for the class and discuss the assignments for the course.
What You’re EXACTLY Doing in This Course: In this course you will learn to read, write, and speak thoughtfully and critically within your discipline. You will produce various written works in discipline specific genres and give presentations surrounding scientific topics of your choosing. Hopefully this rhetoric and writing practice strengthens your writing skills throughout your academic and scientific career. Also, to simulate the engineer’s “experience,” you will spend much of the semester in instructor selected groups, in which you will consider the topic, direction, and composition of your projects together. However, MOST of the time, you will compose and submit individual assignments.
