Tóm tắt
Consider three students at an engineering school: Emily, Morton, and Douglas. The three are completing end-of-term evaluations for a junior-level course called RH330: Technical & Professional Communication, which is required by their majors - civil engineering, software engineering, and mechanical engineering - and which also meets one of the school’s liberal arts requirements. The course culminated with a seven-week, project-based unit that taught research, audience and context analysis, project management, and a variety of professional genres from needs analysis and feasibility study to grant proposal and Gantt chart. The project asked student groups to identify, on their own campus, a practice or technology that is unsustainable, and to propose a sustainable solution. © 2013 Taylor & Francis.
