AE 421 students have to create an entrepreneurial enterprise marketing paper. This one-page paper helps students to look at their idea from the consumer's point of view, and it requires that they write concisely. The final delivered product for AE 421 is a uniform group report describing the design of an engineering product and explaining why their design is superior to their peers. Generally, this report is well over 100 pages. Each student works on a segment of the report that must be coordinated into a cohesive single report.
The final delivered product for AE 508 is a group technical report identifying the detailed analyses for an engineering product. Again, this report is generally well in excess of 100 pages. Here, the importance is to demonstrate that an effective and accurate analysis is only as good as the presentation and that no engineering analysis is static.
In AE 510, in addition to a cumulative semester project, the students complete a mid-semester design report or presentation using a virtual medium. The writing for this needs to be precise, consider audience, and use a format that will be widespread in industry.
