−	This course is designed to help computer science and engineering students improve their technical reading and writing skills. Students will read texts analytically, identify and respond to persuasion and argument, ~~and develop skills including skimming and scanning, reading for gist, and reading critically. They will~~ assess the visual~~, textual, paralinguistic~~ and ~~audience engagement~~ elements of ~~oral~~ presentations, as ~~well~~ as ~~participating~~ in ~~giving~~ ~~them~~, ~~and~~ ~~asking~~ and ~~fielding~~ ~~audience questions~~. Coursework will support students in recognising the structural and rhetorical elements of technical genres, as well as constructing a portfolio of sample workplace text-types. The processes of drafting, revising and incorporating feedback will both model and inculcate editing methods and procedures. Attention will be given to teamwork, meeting behaviour, and minute-taking. Case studies are used to bring the textual and lived dimensions of technical communication together. Student reflection on their own learning experiences is a significant means of consolidating learning gains, over the course of the semester. Ultimately, the course provides opportunities for students to develop effective technical communication skills.	+	This course is designed to help computer science and engineering students improve their technical reading and writing skills.
