Enhancing Learning Experience of Engineering Students in Technical English Communication

This project aims to enhance the competitiveness of engineering students studying in THEi’s four engineering programmes, namely Building Services Engineering (BSE), Civil Engineering (CE), Environmental Engineering and Management (EEM), and Aircraft Engineering (AE). More specifically, it enhances their technical English writing skills with the genres of engineering writing by means of a new learning channel using Youtuber’s videos and traditional taught classes, with the sharing of case scenarios via a set of teaching and learning packages. It also promotes self-learning by adopting the pedagogy of blended learning through a tailor-made e-learning platform. It is hoped that our engineering students will be equipped with the essential technical English communication skills for writing technical reports in their final year projects and the professional assessment of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE).
