Undergraduate Students

"I didn’t study engineering to write a bunch of reports."

"Who cares if I can communicate well? I’m a whiz at math and science."

"Engineers don’t need to write."

Smart engineering students know that’s nonsense. Everyone—regardless of field of study—needs to be able to communicate well, but this is especially true for mechanical engineers. At Michigan Tech, you have plenty of opportunities to develop technical and non-technical writing and presentation skills in and out of the classroom.
