ENG-110 Introduction to Technical Writing
In Introduction to Technical Writing, students, individually and collaboratively, will employ various processes to produce professional caliber technical documents. Throughout the semester students will produce and analyze a number of common technical writing genres, such as: emails, letters, resumes, memos, reports, proposals, technical descriptions, technical definitions, instructions/procedures, and proposals. Students will work toward understanding how to analyze and react to rhetorical situations each genre and writing situation presents, including issues of audience, organization, visual design, style, and the material production of documents. Students will complete research processes, selecting and interacting with sources, culminating in the production of documented, multi-source writing in one or more formal papers totaling at least 2,500 words. During the course students will write a minimum of 16-24 pages.
