ENGL 31200 Technical Writing

GE-Communication Do you like explaining concepts, especially challenging ones, in writing? Do you want to learn how to describe something complicated in a simple, easy-to-understand way? Do you like to design documents, such as posters, flyers, or websites, and want to learn how to make your designs look better to an audience? If so, technical writing is for you. In this class, you will use the writing skills you learned in Composition I and II and apply them to workplace writing situations, where conciseness and attention to detail are paramount. We will design documents to be effective for a reader, explain difficult concepts so that a non-expert audience can understand, and write and format reports, proposals, and other genres that technical writers use.
