Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in engineering education has significantly transformed the learning process, particularly in developing technical writing skills. This study investigates how specific ICT tools such as Grammarly, Turnitin, Google Docs, and Moodle enhance technical writing proficiency among engineering students. It analyzes various influencing factors, including student demographics, levels of ICT exposure, and perceived tool effectiveness. Data was collected from 100 first-year Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Computer Science Engineering (CSE) students at the Government College of Engineering, Bodinayakanur, Theni, using a structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis, including mean comparisons and standard deviation, was employed to evaluate the relationship between ICT tool usage and improvements in grammar, structure, clarity, and plagiarism reduction. The findings highlight the practical benefits of ICT in improving technical writing, while also identifying challenges such as limited digital access and the need for targeted training. Recommendations are proposed to facilitate more effective integration of ICT tools into engineering curricula for enhanced learning outcomes.
