Synopsis

For courses in Technical Writing (Introductory level) or Advanced Composition courses in Vocational Education/Engineering Technology Programs.

This manual identifies and explores the documentation standards and basic skills that are used to develop and produce technical projects. It examines both industrial/corporate and academic applications of technical writing fundamentals―e.g., assembly instructions, maintenance manuals, and college papers. It emphasizes the design and packaging of “integrated texts” that incorporate all of their media as a finished product.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Technical Document Basics for Engineering Technicians and Technologists focuses on the application of technical writing fundamentals. This text covers topics such as page layout, project formats, graphic tools and layout, and document prototypes, all with a focus on work-related writing.

To help illustrate the concepts and present a practical approach to the material, the text includes the following features:

• Sample projects – examples of student work that illustrate the concepts presented in the chapter
• Chapter summaries – highlights of each chapter that provide a quick review of the main topics
• Chapter-ending projects and activities – review and application activities that allow readers to apply the concepts presented
• Group projects – activities that help foster collaborative writing and teamwork

In addition to these features, almost every chapter includes Work in Progress―a case study that helps link theory and practice by highlighting the concepts presented in the chapter in terms of real-world activities. Shorter descriptions of the writing activities of engineering technicians are also included. These cases come from the experiences of engineering technicians who are currently working in the field.
