competitive for funding, aneducator must submit a strong proposal that creates a good first impression to the reviewer. A proposal that iswell written, clear, and easy for the reviewer to read and understand generally has a better chance of beingfunded than one that is poorly written. Since many engineering educators have little background in writing, this paper gives guidelines forcreating a strong proposal to prospective authors. General appearance of the proposal, including graphs,figures, and charts, is an important part of writing a successful grant. Common errors in writing are included,and basic rules for most frequently misused grammar are given with a discussion of words, sentence structure,and paragraph organization. General

for anengineering career with evermore collaboration demands in the global arena. A considerable partof an engineer’s job is to figure out how to concisely communicate complex concepts and detailsto other people with technical writing. The types of writing include proposals, inspection reports,design documentation, progress reports, specifications, instruction manuals, online help files,emails, blogs, and more. A recent study [4] showed that students’ abilities in technical writingwere perceived to be below the standards by industry professionals, and engineering educators arerequested to address this major competency gap urgently. However, teaching technical writing faces several unique challenges in engineeringeducation. Many

Both courses are required for students majoring in the electrical and computerengineering concentrations. Our expectation is that after taking both courses students hadlearned the theory and application of such components as diodes, Zener diodes, NPN andPNP
