摘要:Based on our compilation of the course outlines from the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, this paper will focus on our preliminary findings. This study – as part of a larger, multi- disciplinary project – analyzes how often students write in Engineering courses and, when they do, what genres of documents they are being asked to write. While each department includes writing components, their methods of evaluation are different. Consequently, each department emphasizes writing differently, as exemplified in their different evaluation weightings, and this emphasis has some important implications for the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Manitoba.
