In early June 2015, the American Society of Engineering Education held its 122nd annual conference in Seattle, Washington. I spent summer 2014 (as a Stanford Undergraduate Research Institute student) and the 2014-2015 academic school year assisting with a project that aimed to improve the teaching of technical writing to early engineers. Our paper was titled Improving Students' Technical Writing Skills: Abstracts in Introductory Solid Mechanics, and can be found here. I presented our work at the Communication and Literacy session.
