MSBTE has included some excellent subjects like Development of Life Skills, Professional Practices etc in the diploma curriculum that is implemented in all the polytechnics in Maharashtra. These subjects, no doubt if implemented properly will benefit the engineering students immensely.
Polytechnics under MSBTE are located in urban as well as rural places in Maharashtra. MSBTE has given a lot of attention while designing syllabus so that the balance can be maintained between rural Maharashtra and urban Maharashtra. I teach in one of the best Polytechnics in Mumbai .While conducting practical sessions of subject " Professional Practices" I realize the need of emphasizing on developing Technical writing skills for the students. Preparing technical presentations, writing various technical reports such as design reports, progress reports, theses and dissertation are integral tasks in any Engineer's Life!
These skills can also be developed by the students and taught by Lecturers while learning core subjects but most of the times these things take back seat when it come to completing syllabus. We all are aware how a typical engineering student completes his "submission" at the last moment just before the deadline!
My this post is to help students to learn Technical writing. I will post links and articles here. I usually post links under different post headings. For example "Tutorial Links", "Design Links" or post related to links on mixed topics is labeled as "Potpourri" . But this time I thought of writing separate post for links related to Technical writing because I don't want to go this link unnoticed!
Cheers!
