Abstract
This paper suggests possible writing assignments in engineering classes and some effective ways to present them. Types discussed are various reports, writing to learn, and other creative assignments. Ideas are drawn from experienced engineering professors and some technical writing professors through an informal survey of frequently assigned writing at Vanderbilt University Engineering School, published sources, and a personal collection of professors' writing assignments.
