ENGRC 3600
Communicating Data for Engineers
ENGRC 3600 prepares students for asking critical questions about data collection and analysis; presenting data visually; orally and linguistically describing methods and results of data analysis; preparing presentations (proposal, final); formulating data visualizations and captions; developing technical reports with data visualizations; and collaborating in teamwork. Teams will complete a data analysis project. This course will fulfill the Engineering Communications Requirement and can be applied to a student’s Liberal Studies requirements.
Topics
- Written Communication: Identify, research, negotiate, and compose various texts to further a technical or engineering effort with consideration to context and audience.
- Oral Communication/Presentations: Plan, devise, formulate, design, and report information via professional presentations for various technical and stakeholder needs.
- Visual & Multimodal Communication: Visualize, illustrate, and appropriately caption data visualizations; discriminate between methodologies for creating data visualizations other multimodal artifacts to support the technical endeavor; create visuals and multimodal artifacts that are accessible.
- Teamwork: Connect, appraise teammates’ contributions, and collaborate in teams; identify, negotiate, assign roles for completing, drafting, and finalizing communication pieces.
- Ethics: Identify, research, negotiate, and produce communication artifacts that recognize, respect, and include diverse expertise and experiences (see the Diversity in Learning and Course Content section below).
