Students spoke with a young engineer and could easily imagine being in her position after graduation. In addition to the tour and question and answer session, the Ramboll engineer led the students through some critical thinking case studies.  AKT II, another engineering design company, emphasized their spiral organization structure and design-led engineering practices. The AKT II employees shared many of their designs and major projects from idea to completion.  The Olympic Park is an example of extraordinary efforts in

WritingThis paper describes how ENGI 2304: Technical Communications for Engineers uses best-selling novels to provide course content and to introduce students to the conventions ofengineering genres by building on their familiarity with humanities readings. Students read thenovels Pompeii by Robert Harris and Prey by Michael Crichton and complete projects based onor inspired by the novels. This paper explains some standard research projects used in technicalwriting classes and outlines several problems with these projects before introducing the conceptof using literature in a technical writing class. While previous studies by Jo Allen and othershave argued against the practice of mixing literature with technical writing, this paper explains anew

with American professional licenses; however, given the stateboundary on professional licensure and a general lack of laws and enforcement agencies indeveloping countries, these licenses can serve only as a form of qualification. It is therefore notuncommon for anyone with an engineering background, including students, to practice andapprove of engineering designs in countries such as Haiti. Two important conditions result fromthis dynamic: (1) for all practical purposes, students serving on humanitarian engineeringprojects in developing countries may be working in an environment where no participant isliable, and (2) students who voluntarily work in an environment void of liability are inherentlyaccepting the responsibility for a heightened
