An in-plant proposal-writing workshop

This paper describes a course for giving engineers practical training in proposal writing. A similar course has been given during the past four years at University Extension, University of California, Berkeley. The course includes an introduction to proposals, and a description of how they are published and are evaluated. The workshop assignments require that each student write major parts of a proposal. The steps involved in preparing the course are described here to enable G-EWS members to plan a similar workshop for in-plant training.
