Student Objectives and Goals

One of the goals of a college education has always been the ability to read, write, and speak well, of organizing, analyzing, and displaying information, and of formulating reasonable and persuasive arguments, and negotiating. The role of accurate, clear, and concise communication has become a vital component in industry. Information technology and wireless communication systems have redesigned our professional workforce by creating new roles for professionals in managing, organizing, and displaying information in a variety of media. The workplace favors professionals who possess both technical training and broad skills in written, oral, and visual communication who respond intelligenty to a range of critical situations. Typically, engineers, scientists, and other professionals spend 40% or more of their time at work reading, writing, designing information, and delivering oral presentations. So with these challenges in mind, assignments have been designed to hone the necessary skills for professional success.
