In addition, all the students were expected to meet with the course instructorfor 30-45 minutes at least once every week to discuss their progress and submit their individualassignments. On Friday classes the course instructor would provide structured lectures and assistall 12-20 enrolled students to create teams, find project ideas, and establish project plans. Undersuch course structure, each student team was expected to submit a detailed project proposal byWeek 5 of the semester. The students were asked to submit a detailed system design report byWeek 9, and finalize their prototype and documentations, including the final presentation, duringWeek 16.This

Therefore, communication among teams is as important as communication among theteam members especially in the integration phase. Furthermore, each subsystem needs to

This presents an opportunity to compare the communication skills of students whotook the technical communications course with those who did not. We plan to study students’habits while writing technical reports by analyzing their process of writing and their finalproduct, and from there draw conclusions about their communication skills. We hypothesize thata dedicated technical communications course is effective at developing communications skillsamong engineering students, and
