Technical Communication: A Practical Approach, 2nd Edition

Every student who plans to work in business and industry must master the art of technical communication. Indeed, your ability to communicate effectively in print, in presentations, and in electronic media will play a major role in your success in your chosen profession.

It contains a wealth of guidelines, examples, and models to help you become a competent professional writer.

The purpose of this teacher’s guide is to provide resources to assist teachers in preparing students for the technical writing required for any type of STEM proposal or report.

With teacher guidance, students will be taught to find reliable sources, compare ideas from multiple articles, use appropriate citations, develop a plausible prototype, and present their ideas in a coherent manner.
