Some of you may have heard that the HCDE 231 (Technical Writing) course was going to be discontinued in the future, and the issue of the graduation requirement for Technical Writing was in question due to access to this class. However, recently the College of Engineering has approved HCDE 231 to become a new course entitled “Intro to Communication in HCDE” in the future (perhaps in a year or so), and a new course ENGR 231 will be established as the new “Technical Writing” class.

So the Technical Writing course requirement will stand. Please plan to include it as part of the BSCE graduation requirement.
