Microcredentialing Badge
Writing Engineering Reports:
​Understanding Expectations
​

        This site presents a digital badge that uses assessments, videos, and other resources to help you understand the expectations on you when writing reports in engineering and science. The badge uses authentic examples from reports written by engineering and science students. After completing this material, Penn State students and Engineering Ambassadors at our partner universities can earn a digital badge. A digital badge is a shareable credential that can help you demonstrate your achievements and competencies on your LinkedIn profile, résumé, or e-portfolio.
        The badge, which is formally titled “Writing Engineering Reports: Understanding Expectations,” will be awarded if you meet the following criteria:​
  1. you have a valid PSU email address or you are an Engineering Ambassador with a university email address; ​
  2. you view the ten tutorial films (total viewing time: 45 minutes); and
  3. you score at least 90 percent on the final comprehension quiz of the tutorial--note that you may retake this assessment to reach the needed score.​
        Badges, which are delivered to the email address you provide on the comprehension quiz, will be awarded within two weeks of scoring enough points on the comprehension quiz.
