Writing Guidelines

Write your story in the first person. This style is more authentic and authoritative, but also personable.
Use specific examples and data to drive your narrative.
Include resources. Provide Engineering Unleashed card links where applicable, but also other practical resources that other faculty can take, use, and/or learn from.
Edit your story or have it edited as much as you can before sending it to us.
Keep the paragraphs small and the sentences relatively short. This helps online readers scan and retain the content more easily.
Sum it up. Have a concluding statement or two that ties it all together, or lays out your next steps.
Submit all imagery you’d like included with the story. “Real” images are best--of your classes, projects, student teams, etc. Just make sure you have permission to use them.
Include a high-resolution photo of yourself and a 2-3 sentence bio.
If you are submitting on behalf of a student: Include the student’s high-res photo and their bio.
If you are submitting a story that has appeared elsewhere: Please obtain all permissions prior to submitting, and include links or other attribution language with your submission.
Make sure your Engineering Unleashed profile is up to date with a photo and bio (you can have your full bio on your profile). We will be linking to your profile when we publish your story.
