Technical Communication for Engineers Online Information Session
July 9 from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm PDT
As part of the Canadian Engineering Professional Practice microcredential, the Technical Communication for Engineers course provides a broad overview of written and oral communication in engineering working environments. Topics include business correspondence, business meetings, oral presentations, visual aids, and technical reports.
The approach of the course is practical; it involves practice exercises related to engineering work. It supports the student in the development of the ability to communicate complex engineering concepts within the profession and to the general public. The ability to understand and write effective technical reports and documents is essential. Engineers must be able to provide and respond to clear instructions. Critical thinking will be encouraged as engineers must be prepared to evaluate and cite information from a variety of sources.
The Canadian Engineering Professional Practice microcredential is designed to provide internationally trained engineers with the law and ethics education and communication skills to help them to excel in the engineering profession and successfully pursue professional licensure with one of Canada’s provincial or territorial engineering regulators. It is also suitable for those preparing to write the National Professional Practice Examination (NPPE). It consists of three courses, Canadian Engineering Practical Law, Engineering Ethics and Professional Practice, and Technical Communication for Engineers.
