department had been struggling with writingexecutive summaries for their final senior design course projects to be reviewed by an advisoryboard panel. Over the years the advisory board had been complaining about the quality andwhat was being communicated in the summaries. This led to a collaboration with a writingconsultant at the university to provide instruction on the executive summary. This paperaddresses the framework used for the intervention employed to help these students write betterexecutive summaries. It also explores the improvement of the summaries based on theintervention adapted for the course coming from a background of genre theory and employingtools from genre analysis. The study examines the writing of executive summaries from

• Establish, configure, and properly protect a remote desktop connection to the 2003 Server using terminal services • Configure File EncryptionAt the end of each lab project, the students are required to write a laboratory reportdocumenting their experiences with the software installation and configuration. Thestudents do not like having to do this activity but as IT professionals they must be able tocommunicate technical information in a non-technical way. By providing them with theexperience of writing lab reports they get some exposure of having to write technicalreports.

The increasing complexity of sub systems is requiring validationtesting before inclusion into the system. This leads to test procedure concepts such ashardware in the loop and software in the loop.The development of the vehicle is a complex, large team, multidisciplinary project withstudents primarily from mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering.The majority of the team members are enrolled in a two-semester senior design sequencein either Electrical or Mechanical Engineering.

This research finds that all students, regardless of theirexperience, benefit from taking engineering graphics at the university level.IntroductionStudents start engineering programs with many different experiences. Some students begin anengineering program with some knowledge of engineering graphics. This knowledge ofengineering graphics ranges from knowing the basics of technical sketching, to the ability to readtechnical drawings, to an intimate knowledge of 3D modeling using CAD. Students gain theseexperiences from many places including job training and high school CAD classes. Mostuniversity engineering programs require a course in
