Disciplinary Literacies Project The major that I have researched for this project is Civil Engineering. Civil engineering is the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil Engineering has specific writing features that connects the form of the writing to its content to help better understand. The inquiry that I am investigating is; how does the use of figures, direct language, and abstracts as writing features in civil engineering help the reader better understand the content?
One of the first scholarly articles that I stumbled across while researching was called High Strength Steel in Buildings and Civil Engineering Structures: Design of Connections. While briefly reading …show more content…
The features of figures, direct language, and abstracts have been analyzed and shown.
