Curriculum Fit

The proposed course satisfies a demand amongst the EEES graduate students and faculty for a technical writing course that will provide a valuable resource for enhancing writing skills.  Additionally, this course is designed to facilitate progress in each student’s personal graduate program by allowing the student to focus on his or her own research interest and data.  In order to provide the best possible scenario for interaction and individual attention, this class will be limited to 15 students.  We expect this class to be full each semester it is offered.
