Access to Writing Kit for Engineering Design Reports

Abstract

The “Writing Kit for Engineering Design Reports” is a suite of tools designed to support the development of improved technical writing skills in undergraduate engineering students. Originally created for integration into a third-year design course that requires students to prepare a 40-page design report for a client-based project, the kit can be adapted to other writing assignments and academic levels. The kit is available in a zipped file that contains four elements: writing guidelines, supplemental support materials on effective writing (workshop slides), assessment Rubrics (for self- and peer evaluation), and LaTeX templates (for formatting the reports).A README file provides information on how this kit may be used, as well as copyright and licensing information. Instructions for accessing the kit are located at http://atrium.lib.uoguelph.ca/xmlui/handle/10214/2190
