The principal focus of this course is to foster an aptitude for using technical English communication to learn about and discuss modern issues in engineering. There will be an emphasis on developing key skills in the following areas: group work, oral presentation skills with a focus on project analysis, language used in real-world contexts such as fieldwork and online meetings, describing and explaining scientific concepts, and interpersonal development such as peer review. Throughout the course, students will complete 12 modules covering a variety of engineering fields to strengthen their productive abilities and understanding of the topics. Students can expect to spend roughly 2 hours per week on assignments/review outside of class.
The course is scheduled to be conducted in a classroom in accordance with university health policy but may switch to either fully online or some combination of classroom/online in response to future developments regarding COVID-19. As a result, students should be ready to take some or all of the course online should the need arise by ensuring they have a laptop and reliable access to the internet.

This course introduces relevant issues related to science and engineering to reinforce the core language skills necessary to discuss scientific concepts in English. It covers basic academic writing and spoken communication appropriate for students of science and technology who will use English to interact with (or within) an international workplace or academic discipline. Students are required to complete preparatory online assignments before each module, including an oral presentation on the tenth week of class. Cooperative learning will be established through the use of group/peer work as well as peer feedback for presentations. The course is divided into three units, and student comprehension will be assessed with a quiz following each unit that covers vocabulary, grammar, and pragmatic skills introduced in the unit. In addition, a written final exam will be administered at the end of the semester.

This course consists of three units, covering different aspects of technical communication. The first unit focuses on basic communication phrases related to idea exchange and discussion. The second unit covers technical aspects of project planning and presentations, and the final unit deals with critical analysis and self expression.
At the culmination of each unit, there will be a unit quiz to test overall comprehension of the unit material. In addition, students will be required to give a short technical presentation on a topic of their choice.
