Program: Students’ PerspectivesAbstractEffective advising ensures students take the proper classes to stay on track for their graduation.For example, in an engineering curriculum, it is crucial that students maintain the propersequence of courses that results in the culmination of the program's required capstone designcourse(s). Any human error during the advising process can risk the disruption of the smoothprogression through the program for a student. Thus, a computerized web-based advising toolcan be highly useful to eliminate such human errors in identifying the most needed coursesduring an advising session. Currently, many advising tools are available through commercialbusinesses or developed by those working in the field of education. In

. Projects can be used in embedded technicalcommunication modules and are scaled up for independent courses.Changing the technical writing and communication (TWC) curriculum will prepare students toemploy technical writing tools already on the market. TWC courses are typically taught insophomore and junior year, and their curricular placement supports more technical lab-basedcourses and senior design courses. By employing the modular approach that this paperadvocates, ML-informed technical writing projects can be scaffolded throughout the curriculum,paired with a more technical course, or tailored to a graduate seminar.Current technical writing courses for engineers support the curriculum by improving EngineeringStudents’ (ES) communication skills
