This paper aims to examine obstacles to critical thinking that have been particularly important during the past two years of online instruction in Saudi Arabia. Some obstacles, like student busyness, worries about what others may think, and lack of previous experience with critical thinking-based teaching and problems with multiple, correct answers already are prevalent within in-person classes. Online education during the pandemic has heavily exacerbated other problems, like overloaded schedules, lack of focus, technical difficulties, and student stress. The process of critical thinking involves rough, practical reasoning, which may also make adapting to it challenging for some engineering students who have previously had success in more traditional, \"one right answer\" educational settings. The paper suggests some pedagogical approaches and techniques that have been helpful for confronting these problems in online, synchronous classrooms.","PeriodicalId":278101,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134004933","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}

As part of this process, technical communication instructors within the School of Engineering at the University of British Columbia have created an Indigenous Community Consultation Project. Using project-based learning pedagogy, the project fuses technical communication instruction on genres such as reports and presentations, with the challenges of preparing engineering students to apply their communication skills within the context of a long and complex colonial history and its legacy with specific communication needs. This paper overviews the rationale and structure of the Indigenous Community Consultation Project, as well as discussing key initial reflections upon the project by the instructors involved with this course. Lastly, thoughts on future directions for the project and related research are also considered.","PeriodicalId":278101,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132077215","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}

Science and Technical Communication for Knowledge Translation 知识翻译的科技传播

While research in science and technical communication has studied the importance for practicing scientists, engineers, and technical communicators to transfer knowledge in and beyond their specific settings, there are fewer engagements with training science and technical communicators to disseminate knowledge to outside stakeholders as an integral component of scientific research itself. The concept of knowledge translation we will analyze aims to put knowledge into action by tailoring communication approaches to reach dissemination and implementation goals for specific audiences, such as other researchers, clinicians and practitioners, funders, managers, policy-makers, and the public. We argue science and technical communicators have the rhetorical skills to be leaders in conceptualizing and implementing knowledge translation. In our short paper, we will introduce knowledge translation and differentiate it from similar terms such as technology transfer, knowledge transfer, and boundary spanning. We will then describe how the rhetorical skills of science and technical communicators address the steps and goals of knowledge translation. We will conclude by offering a teaching prompt to show how knowledge translation can be practiced in the science and technical communication classroom.","PeriodicalId":278101,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127544571","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}

While in North America, the scholarship in technical communication flourished around 2000 to discuss how to write a style guide, in China, where the technical communication field only emerged in the late 1990s, little scholarly attention has yet been paid to the Chinese-language style guides. The situation is the same in the professional world. Compared to the brand style guides from Google, IBM, and Microsoft, Chinese international brands do not have anything of equal influence. The scarcity of research on and products of Chinese-language style guide for technical documents does not only hinder the internal and external technical communication of a company, but also impacts its competitiveness in a global economy. This situation warrants our interest. To tackle this emergency of creating style guides in Chinese (as the source language), we will focus on four most influential Chinese-language style guides written by four China-based multinational corporations (Huawei, Alibaba Cloud Computing, PingCAP, and Zhongxing Telecom Equipment), trying to unravel the dynamics of producing comprehensive and house style guides in Chinese.","PeriodicalId":278101,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122674602","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}

This study responds to a reported trend of disengagement in public welfare among engineering students as they progressed through their academic studies and professional careers. Given the trust imbued upon engineers to situate their designs within real-life constraints, engagement with the public is necessary to serve all stakeholders who may be affected. The first step towards an engagement with another audience is empathizing with them to understand their needs. The overall study included a pre- and post-survey of students’ engagement in public welfare and empathy before and after the service learning project, as well as a qualitative analysis of students’ written reflections after the project was complete. This paper examines qualitative and quantitative data from individual student participants, who were tracked from pre- to post-survey and with their corresponding individual written reflection, to identify specific instances where disengagement or empathy is and is not observed and allows for a wholistic examination of these individual student’s empathy and engagement in public welfare in a service learning project within a technical communication course.","PeriodicalId":278101,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129514944","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}
