I learned how to be more proffesional and concise in my communication. Thank you!
Engineering leaders must write extensively for their jobs, and their writing needs to be professional, reader-focused, and error-free. What leaders write in particular can affect productivity and the bottom line, so the written communication that leaders create must be clear and concise. In this course, you’ll learn essential writing skills that you can apply in your daily activities on the job as an engineering leader. You’ll learn key principles in
• Approaching various engineering genres • Using the writing process to create quality documents • Making your writing structured • Making your writing clear and concise • Handling style, tone, and voice Selected materials courtesy of Communication Faculty at Rice University - all rights reserved.

This course provides necessary and useful writing skills that are highly related engineering. I haven't thought too much in writing until I took this course. Very helpful.

I have learned so much in this course. I gained a lot of confidence and my readers and team mates are thankful.

It really helped me a lot. I did not know how to write an email, a report or a proposal. After doing this course, I've improved a lot. Thanks for the course

The audience focused writing strategy - to think before you write (think about your audience, key message to convey), really helps me a lot to get my ideas across.

Content was helpful in understanding the skills I've learned through job experience.
YY
Awesome course. Interaction with peer and review with peers is great part.
RR
Learned a lot on how to build paragraphs and use active voice instead of passive. Little details really make a difference when communicating in writing.
MS
Valuable course to improve writing skill & thoughts before write. It surely makes Engineering Leaders.
PS
The course is amazing if you really want to enhance your writing and vocabulary skills to become a smart engineer near future. All the best.

A great course for engineers with useful content. However, there is no interaction with the instructors which is the key missing piece of your course AND the peer review process is ad hoc. This has to be more formalized; for example, writers should be paired with someone of a similar skillset and yet, I was reviewing work that requires significant errors. There needs to be a second draft review so writers can go back and review the feedback and then self-edit. There is no function to resubmit a second or final draft. Finally, the quizzes are not a good indication of learning.
Update:I got the course finally completed (finally got a grade) a few days after I submitted the review.I have submitted my week 2 assignments before due date, but no grades have been given for 20 days. I also posted the link on the discussion forum as recommended by the course instructor. However, still no grades after 12 days of my post, even though the course instructor promise to check peer assignment grades throughout the week. Now the course ended with everything locked and I have no way to contact the instructor to get my assignment graded. This happened to my the oral communication course as well. How can I ever get this course completed.......Very frustrating experience, even though the course itself is very good.

Very Good Course. It is very Informative.
very good course for Engineers
One thing that I did not like in this course that write-ups written by the students are reviewed only by students (peer review); it is good to get peer review comments but I would like to have teachers review comments as well! I joined the course based on the teachers and university profile.

It was a very good experience to attend this course. It tells you some very important writing skills that you should possess for a good writing.
Очень хороший курс всем советую
Strong contents. However, I felt this was a bit imbalanced towards the first two weeks, and not as satisfactory as the first two courses in this specialization. Was expecting more assignments in this one. But five stars to Prof. Gayle Moran's engaging lectures!
I really recommend this course. It gave me some valuable tools to improve my writing and subjects to research and develop even more my skills.
The course is amazing if you really want to enhance your writing and vocabulary skills to become a smart engineer near future. All the best.
All video lecturs are good. Problem statement for written assignments are elaborate and make us think before we write
I think every graduate who completed their graduation with an engineering degree should enroll this specialization.
I have learned so much in this course. I gained a lot of confidence and my readers and team mates are thankful.
A lot of useful knowledge about communication and writing and implementing a problem is good for an engineer
Very relevant writing skills that are applicable to the workplace. Easy to digest and practical approach.
Valuable course to improve writing skill & thoughts before write. It surely makes Engineering Leaders.
