Technical Writing equips students with the tools and knowledge
required to write clear, concise, and well-organized technical
documents. This comprehensive guide encourages students to
carefully consider word choice, sentence construction, document
organization and formatting, the use of visual queuing, and more to
create easy-to-read, high-impact technical documents. The text
begins by outlining the major differences between academic papers
and technical documents, and discussing critical elements to
consider when writing technical documents including audience, the
goal of the document, readers' expectations, organization, and
more. Later chapters address technical writing style, the
importance of design, the basics of cognitive theory, and various
types of communication documents. Students learn how to tailor
writing for the technology industry, successfully incorporate
research into technical documents, and create technical reports.
The book concludes by walking students through setting up a
professional portfolio of their work, addressing portfolio
organization, topical strategy, strategic layout, and potential
legal issues. Technical Writing is an accessible and comprehensive
guide designed to help students write technical documents
confidently and efficiently. The text is well suited for
undergraduate courses in technical writing, communications,
computer science, and engineering.
