Communication for Design Professionals
Posted: January 15, 2008

There seems to be a recognition in our school that many of our students do not write as well as they should.  Thus, I have proposed a new elective course, Communication for Design Professionals.  Focused on technical writing skills and oral presentation methods, this course will prepare students for professional correspondence, specification writing, and marketing presentations.

 

Practical.  Applicable.  Fun.
