Advanced Technical Communication
English 497 offers you the opportunity to enhance your skills in planning, inventing, organizing, drafting, revising, and editing technical prose. Most students will develop these skills as they complete a single large project consisting of several parts--perhaps including a technical report and articles written for professional and popular journals. We will emphasize the importance of and strategies for accommodating your presentation to your audience. We will also devote much attention to editing technical prose, yours and your classmates'. Finally, we will recognize that the Web has altered the way that professionals communicate. You will learn to take advantage of the new electronic resources in discovering information and communicating it to others.

Introduction to Technical Communication
English 2309-Technical Communication-is an introductory course to the kinds of documents produced and used in business, industry, and technology. The assignments and the way they are evaluated reflect different audiences and purposes than those normally addressed in English 1301 & 1302. However, you should be reasonably proficient in the writing skills normally acquired in these two courses. We are a community of writers from various disciplines sharing our work and insights about writing with one another. This course is designed to create an environment in which you can develop and exhibit professional work habits. These habits include meeting deadlines, satisfying all assignment criteria, and attending class on a regular basis.

Technical and Professional Communication 
We write for many reasons: to entertain, to express our feelings, to persuade others to our belief(s), to inform, and to call others to action. In this course, we will combine these last two to produce ' . . . writing that gets things done: It can convey useful information, or it can implement specific actions . . .' (Woolever, 1999, p. 2). Although you will be learning to produce clear, concisely written, varied forms of technical communication, we will also focus on developing the basic, analytical skills you should utilize each time you produce any technical document. In these you will learn that each writing task can be seen as a problem, one which you will be able to solve by examining the purpose of the document and the needs of your audience--what kind of information they need and in what format that information will be best understood and acted upon. As the following graphic indicates, you can think of technical communication as a way to bridge the gap between technical information and your audience, using language as the material and format, organization, and style as your tools.

English 2309, Technical Writing, will introduce you to some of the types of documents that you will be likely to write in your careers. We will study audience-centered writing and writing as a series of recursive steps through which a writer moves in preparing a final draft. The students in this section will participate in the Texas Tech University Computer-Based Research Project by meeting class in the Macintosh Computer Classroom located in the English building (324A). The course will be VAX-based, but students do not need any prior knowledge of computers or computer skills. Because the course is computer-based, students will have to find time outside of class to work on a computer.

Among the many effects of computer technology are dramatic changes in the ways we produce and disseminate written texts. These changes affect everyday uses of writing, in the classroom and the workplace, as well as the professions that focus on written language—print journalism, technical communication, and other areas of publishing and the media. New technologies affect the ways we read and permit new ways of manipulating and linking the written word.
