Course Description:	The course reinforces academic writing skills. In this course students write different types of essays based on the ideas they are exposed to in the reading selections. The emphasis is on the writing process in which students go through many stages from brainstorming and outlining to producing a complete documented piece of writing.
Course Objectives:	- to equip students with the norms and regulations of English for academic purposes and tasks - to improve understanding of professional English mainly in the fields of engineering - to enrich specialist language knowledge of future practitioners - to provide problem-solving practice in authentic engineering scenarios
