Abstract
This article presents results of a survey of 150 engineering colleges in the United States regarding writing courses in their curricula. The results indicate that a great majority of responding colleges include writing courses in their curricula. These courses are at both the freshman and upperclass level, may be either required or recommended, and are usually taught by faculty from English or Communication departments outside the college. The results also show that writing courses are considered successful and extremely important by respondents.Keywords
