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.

Here Comes That Song Again: The Theory and Practice Blues
An issue that continues to affect our strategies for developing undergraduate programs is the old contest between theory and practice, or, as it frequently occurs in technical communication programs, between theory and tools. Should we focus our undergraduate programs on understanding principles of communication in the technical world or should we focus on teaching the tools that are called for in the job ads for technical communicators?

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.
