ENGL 3100 - Professional and Technical Writing

(3)

This course introduces students to the basic theories and practices of technical communication. Using audience, purpose, and context as their guides, students create various professional and technical documents, such as formal and informal reports, instructions, proposals, job application materials, brochures, web media, and presentations. Working both individually, and in collaboration, students analyze their rhetorical situation as they create usable and appropriate professional documents. This course provides the practical and theoretical basis for the minor and emphasis in Professional and Technical Writing. Prerequisite: ENGL 2010 or equivalent.
