Technical Communication

This module aims to equip students with the technical writing and oral presentation skills needed to manage both the assessment requirements of their degree programme in chemical engineering as well as the writing and speaking needs when they go out to work as chemical engineers. Communication has long been viewed as a core competency for undergraduate students in all major universities in the world and is a prerequisite skill in almost all careers. Important communication skills for engineering undergraduates include the ability to write technical information for their own communities of practice and present such information coherently and clearly in a technical presentation. This module aims to develop such ability of engineering undergraduates through technical proposal writing and presentation activities.
