Kommunikation

The course comprises two main aspects of communication; speaking and writing. During study period 3, there will be a clear focus on oral presentation skills. In study period 4, we will be dealing with technical writing and how to write a lab report in English. This lab report will be based on experiments carried out in the 'Materials Science' course.

Technical Communication and the “New” Engineer  

To achieve collaboration between different actors in the workplace requires a holistic view and knowledge (and experience) in multiple areas: domain knowledge, general and specialised communication, IT. To cater for these needs, six disciplines at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have co-operated to design and teach a unique interdisciplinary and bilingual technical communication programme for engineers. The questions What aspects of technical documentation are particularly relevant to engineers? How can we encourage co-operation between engineers and technical writers throughout the design process? What can engineers learn from technical writers, and vice-versa? This idea market discussion will not only serve as valuable on-site practice for the student, but will also give the audience the possibility of evaluating the programme on the basis of both teacher and learner experiences.
