Creating an English Writing Program tailored to Engineering Students' needs

Abstract

This paper proposes a comprehensive English writing program tailored to the needs of engineering students. The program focuses on developing the students’ writing skills in various areas, including grammar, sentence structure, and organization. The program includes various activities, such as lectures, exercises, and writing assignments, designed to improve the students’ writing skills. In addition, the program provides guidance and support to students through feedback and guidance from experienced instructors. Finally, the program emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and self-correction so students can develop their writing skills meaningfully. A writing program crafted for engineering students would emphasize honing their technical writing aptitude, including the capacity to express detailed technical information concisely and accurately to both technical and non-technical people. This program would also aim to improve students' understanding of technical vocabulary and their ability to write concise and organized manner. Additionally, the program would likely include instruction on ethical considerations related to technical writing, such as plagiarism and data integrity. The program could be delivered through various methods, including classroom instruction, workshops, and online resources. Ultimately, the program's goal would be to help engineering students become more effective and confident communicators to be successful in their chosen fields. Last but not least, the program will give students a chance to get in touch with their peers and seasoned professionals in engineering to help them grasp the writing process to an even greater extent!
