begun accrediting foreign engineering programs. Today over 22 countries apart fromthe United States and its territories are participating. Another recent development is that theNational Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is beginning to offertheir examinations overseas. At the same time mutual recognition agreements or efforts atharmonization moved forward in several countries. The Washington Accord, signed in 1989,promotes mutual recognition of engineering programs and now includes15 signatory countriesand 5 provisional member countries.The Bologna Accord, signed in 1999 had the following goals for 2010:  it is easy to move from one country to the other (within the European Higher Education Area) – for the

-book approach to teaching writing, theyhave the distinct advantage of being goal focused, which helps in convincing reluctantengineering students to put in the effort to improve. Universities as diverse as M.I.T.(Paradis and Zimmerman, 2002) and Curtin University in Australia (Grellier and Goerke,2010) have developed Writing Style Guides with a clear dependence on a genre-basedapproach to teaching communication skills. Grellier and Goerke (2010) go so far as to usethe metaphor of a tool as a way to emphasise how engineers will use unique document typesfor specific purposes. Contextual learning, and hence genre-oriented teaching of writing, isparticularly important for engineering students because they are characteristically practical-oriented
