auniversal tool, and our engineering students can use it in multiple ways - for a quick introduction oftheir professional and academic activities, short briefings, an initial research proposal, lab report, or thesummary of a research effort. This tool was implemented on graduate students enrolled in a technicalwriting course. They were asked to develop an outline and present their ongoing research whichidentified the objective, methodology, results obtained, and discussion of their work, all while using aquad chart. They were given five minutes to present their work. They broke down their informationinto four quadrants. The first quadrant focused on Introduction where they looked at the background oftheir research and outlined the problem. The
