The second course, taken in year 2 of graduate study, is for students who have generatedsome findings and are preparing to disseminate their work in a professional venue. Course 2focuses on writing in the standards of the discipline, using CT to guide the writing process. Itculminates in a major but flexible writing assignment proposed by the student and advisor.Course development began in 2010 after UofSC established a graduate program in BiomedicalEngineering. The graduate curriculum specified coursework under the general heading ofprofessional development and ethics, from which the subject courses evolved. While the coursesare required for graduate
