Founded in 2006 to help faculty improve the writing of their professional documents (such as grant proposals), the CCE has evolved from an institutionally funded center exclusively serving faculty authors into a fee-based center serving faculty, institutional clients, and graduate students. Our research suggests that the CCE is unique, and we believe that other institutions can benefit from the establishment of similar centers to support faculty writing. Research is the core of many academic institutions, and by helping faculty shape information more effectively, the CCE promotes and protects the universitypsilas intellectual capital, one of its most valuable resources in an information-based economy. Our paper traces the history of the CCE from its establishment through its first two years of existence. We discuss issues associated with establishing a center, such as obtaining funding, developing organizational processes, and meeting the challenge of heavy demand. We show how collaborating via the Internet proved to be the most beneficial arrangement for our staff and the majority of our clients. Finally, we offer recommendations for others who wish to establish similar centers.","PeriodicalId":131068,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130334728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yamazaki","doi":"10.1109/IPCC.2008.4610247","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IPCC.2008.4610247","url":null,"abstract":"The author conducted a survey on English communication among 86 Japanese and 15 English-speaking engineers working at manufacturing sites in English-speaking countries. The subjects were asked to evaluate their own performance for different communication functions using different tools or methods in various situations. They were also asked to answer a questionnaire to rate the frequency, importance and performance of their communication activities at work. Results of the survey showed that the Japanese subjects had less tendency than the native English-speaking subjects to use the functions of ldquopraisingrdquo, ldquocomplainingrdquo, and ldquodisagreeingrdquo but both groups considered technical instruction and informal meetings, as well as interviews, to be very important tasks. Analysis of the results indicates that the Japanese subjects were less satisfied with communication activities that require indirect or elaborate expressions compared to tasks directly related to their technical duties. This suggests that more and better training in English communication, based on real communication situations, is needed for Japanese engineers to perform their jobs more efficiently and effectively at manufacturing sites abroad.","PeriodicalId":131068,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124525554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
