Abstract :
In 1993, we initiated a five-year project to enhance the communication skills of electrical engineering students. For our 1994 presentation, we report selected findings of our initial surveys of electrical engineering students, and then we highlight the communication activities of recent graduates. Finally, we briefly describe the process that we will use in developing the products-hypertext applications, tutorials, and online help-for the Online Writing Center
