Teaching effectivetechnical communication is challenging in this context as most of the students arenon-native English speakers. The paper will describe different communicationcourses that students have to go through in their freshman year, followed bysophomore engineering design courses and preparing students for a capstonedesign course. The goal of the communication faculty and freshmen engineeringdesign faculty is to have the students develop skills in technical design andwriting, and in effective

curricula has proven to be challenging. This paper presents the initial phase of anexperiment in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech to address this problem by means of aresearch option in the traditional technical communication course. In this research option,students have the opportunity to prepare for and to document a summer research experience. Tothat end, the research option of the course is divided into two segments: (1) a spring segment toprepare students for a summer research experience, and (2) a fall segment to teach students tohow document that research experience. This research option culminates in an undergraduateresearch symposium that is to show other undergraduates the benefits of and opportunities for aresearch experience

The origin of the author’s efforts here is physicist John Krupczak’s “TechnologyLiteracy” course developed for students at Hope College, a small, selective admissioncollege with a dominance of liberal arts majors7-10. The present author’s pathway toestablishing this latter course for non-technical majors at NCSU has been anything butsmooth, in contrast to the earlier course incarnations of “device dissection” for technicalmajors cited above. Our previous 2004 ASEE paper reported the bumpy road andlessons learned while installing our technology literacy course at NCSU, in hopes that itcould assist other interested faculty in initiating similar ventures.
