. (Chisman, 1987).At a number of universities, communication skills are taught in isolated classes, separate fromthe rest of the engineering curriculum. Other schools have chosen a “writing across thediscipline” approach, to partner with a writing center, or to use a writing consultant (Walker,2000). An example of a communication skills development program is the WritetalkCommunication System (WCS), which was developed by the engineering departments at TempleUniversity, in conjunction with an outside consultant. The WCS was developed to address someof the most important communication skills required for a successful engineering career. Thepurpose of the WCS is to increase both student and faculty awareness of the importance ofcommunication and to
