    Introducing Writing in eLearning Activities for The Engineering Curriculum

    At this point in time, and after what we have been through this 2020 and part of 2021, there is simply no excuse for not introducing writing activities and exercise into the engineering curriculum. We have heard all the excuses for not doing so: too much work, for both students and professors, too few resources available to help students improve their writing skills, students may hate the process (lack of support or resources, see previous point), both students and instructors do not find any learning value in the process, among others but I will concentrate in the two points listed at the beginning.
