The project addresses two different levels: the engineering teachers of the programme are offered further education while the programme managers are responsible for the progression during the curriculum. The teachers experience that engineering students need to practice writing. They recognise the importance of communication training, but difficulties in finding time for implementation.

The article argues that teachers of engineering can successfully conduct communication training, but also emphasises that organisational support is essential. (Less)
