Course Description
In this class you will rewrite your ECE 4760 final project report to meet the style of a magazine or journal of your choice, then submit it for publication. The course does not require that the manuscript be published, only that you get it to the point of submission. About half a dozen ECE4760 projects have made it into print each of the last two years and about forty have be published since 2002. Publishing your work is a good way to advertise your abilities and to protect yourself against plagiarism of your project. However publishing your work may limit intellectual property protection possibilities.
This course fulfills the College Technical Writing requirement.
