Course Support
Spring 2013 Support of Writing-Intensive Engineering Courses
The Hanson Center for Technical Communication (HCTC) directly supports writing projects in the following courses: Statics, Materials Science, and Process Calculations. Students in these courses will use our APA Style Guide for citing sources.
Note: all engineering undergraduates are welcome to bring their writing to the Center, no matter what course it's written for.
Course-Specific Downloads
APA Style Guide ( PDF ) All HCTC-supported courses use this style guide to help students format their in-text citations and list of references. Documenting your sources is crucial not only to the successful completion of your writing assignments but as a statement of your integrity as an engineer preparing to enter a community of practice.
