The Department of English allows students to demonstrate proficiency by exam to earn credit for ENG 2140 Research, Technical Writing and Presentation for Scientists and Engineers. To demonstrate proficiency for ENG 2140, students must:

• Start the PLA process by submitting the paperwork and payment, please consult the English department staff at [english@wright.edu] or by calling 937-775-3136 to discuss the sample papers you will provide and the persuasive document you will be required to write.
• Submit a portfolio of 2-3 papers from previous college courses that serves to demonstrate the learning outcomes for ENG 2140.
• Submit a persuasive document explaining how the portfolio papers meet the learning outcomes from ENG 2140. Students should quote and paraphrase from the papers they uploaded for the portfolio as supporting evidence throughout the document.
