Starting out from the notion of irradiating thought or conceptual maps (Buzan 1986, 2002), recently and explicitly tackled as an academic skill by some CLIL learner-oriented materials, this article explores the prospects for its introduction in engineering environments. It reports on a small-case study aimed to reflect on the implications of lecturers' textual choices for the note-taking habits of engineering students and ultimately for their representation of contents. The analysis of seven engineering lectures in English and Spanish in a summer seminar for EU polytechnic students, of seven condensed lectures in English by engineering teachers during an in-service training course at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid and of twenty questionnaires probing into the students' note-taking routines, suggests an influence of lecturing style on note quality and evidences several lecturing deficiencies at the rhetorical level that may hamper the practice of conceptual mapping.
