In the summer of 2017, commissioned by the Dean of the Graduate College, the Center for Communication Excellence (CCE) compiled a random sample of ISU graduate student theses and dissertations published within the past five years. The sampling contained documents submitted by graduate students from 47 departments, including Electrical and Computer Engineering. A detailed systematic analysis of writing revealed that developing a clear structure and argumentation in the Introduction section is a major area of concern affecting the quality of theses and dissertations.
To help graduate students better understand and apply higher-level, rhetorical conventions of the Introduction section, the CCE is offering an intensive workshop on demand. This workshop will be administered by trained CCE writing consultants, who regularly provide individualized assistance, peer review group support, and seminars on various topics related to scholarly writing.
This event is for ECpE grad students.
