What is the Center?
The Technical Communication Writing Center is a free student service provided by the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology.
What does the Center Offer?
The Center gives you the opportunity to sit with an experienced 'reviewer' who can assist you with improving your writing. Reviewers can help you while you are developing your document. They can help you plan, organize and revise your documents to more effectively address audience, purpose, and context.
Reviewers do not copy-edit or proofread papers, but they can help you learn ways to copy-edit and proofread your own work. Reviewers are especially prepared to help students with writing assignments from Engineering and Technology faculty, but can assist with other writing tasks, including scholarship applications and resumes.
When should you come to the Center and what should you bring?
Come in early while your paper is still in the idea stage. Reviewers can help you understand the assignment, brainstorm ideas, and clarify them. Bring
Come later when you have a draft. Reviewers can let you hear a reader's response, help you identify potential problems for readers, and suggest ways to improve your documents.
Where is the Center, and what hours is it open?
The Center is located on the 2nd floor of the ET building in Room 232. You may set up an account and sign up for an appointment by going to this site:
