Our CS program had a "basic communication" class, where you learned to write basic reports, memos, emails, your resume, etc. The final project was investigating some piece of tech, writing a 30 page paper on it, and presenting your findings to the class. Other CS teachers were invited to drop in during the presentations too.

Supposedly they added this after receiving feedback from industry that the biggest problem was that their graduating students couldn't properly communicate.

Altogether it felt pretty appropriate, since it was still focused on CS related concepts.
