Abstract
Although writing constitutes a fundamental facet of university life, its approach varies across the disciplines. Disciplinary trajectories comprise different use, formats and ways of expressing its arguments in written form which are also associated with certain learning styles. In the case of Engineering careers, previous studies refer to a laboratory or practical report, the definition of a mechanism, or a technological development project as their typical communication models, and practice, the use of models and the sequence of instructions as their preferred learning style. In the scope of this workshop, we propose some contents and activities to overcome the challenge of a postgraduate thesis writing from the perspective of Engineering students and teachers/supervisors according to their needs.
