Abstract

A novel approach to improve the communication skills of undergraduate engineers is to be trialled. First years will write and read aloud an engineering related short story set in 2050, critiquing their peers in workshops. The aim is to enhance student engagement in the process and consolidate basic skills before they attempt to write a full laboratory report; it is also an opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration and research.
