I agree that technical writing is an essential skill that all engineers should have. Mandating classes that help students practice this skill will be a long-term benefit. Most communication especially interdepartmental paper-work uses written documentation as a primary communication tool. Concise and objective comprehension is important when writing about procedures, regulations and other technical writing topics. The NJIT BME curriculum does not have a technical writing course however the school does offer classes. Fortunately, the senior capstone project class does help the student learn technical writing when going through their simulations on writing test plans, requirement documents, and weekly milestone updates. This will help in the transition into the industry from the undergraduate level.
