Our documentation project addresses several workplace and pedagogical issues: First, it attempts to foster the communication skills the business world finds lacking in college graduates. Second, the project serves a real purpose with an actual audience, teaching corporate social responsibility, and providing immediate user feedback. Third, the project is evaluated using specification grading, similar to what is used in the workplace. In short, our project provides real-world experiential learning and an opportunity for student publication (which increases hireability); it facilitates social responsibility and awareness through layered communication and cooperation; it strengthens university morale by serving on-campus users; and it produces a product the university can be proud of. Because it is an ongoing on-campus project, it reduces the need to hunt for new opportunities and liaise legalities. Finally, it provides a meaningful writing assignment for students to practice their communication skills.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121451399","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 paper examines how they use everyday technology (equipment, support needs, problem-solving strategies, use and perception of user manuals). It is based on a qualitative interview study (n=138) from 2018 with representatives of the age groups 55+, 65+ and 75+. The data are compared to an equivalent study from 2008. Results show that the participants are well equipped. Many devices are digital, multifunctional, and connected. The need for help varies depending on the device (complexity, familiarity), situation (initial situation, usage situation), and action. With digital devices, actions such as installing and configuring software or settings are described as difficult and error-prone. The results show a broad range of problem-solving strategies. Manuals play an important role. Their quality is evaluated controversially. The most frequently addressed characteristics are the quality of presentation, the availability of instruction manuals, their country of origin, and their scope. The results indicate a need to reconsider support services for the target group. The need for action concerns the design of instructions in manuals and the design and implementation of additional means, e.g., how-to videos for difficult, error-prone actions and new support networks.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131797124","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}

Accreditation standards also set the above-stated skills as desirable attributes for graduates. The courses designed for engineering students, and their program outcomes, do not often meet the requirements of the workplace adequately. Communication is still a major drawback among present-day engineers, especially when English is their second language. Therefore, this study is an attempt to describe the course design of a 5-week non-credited Life Skills Course to integrate communication skills, team skills and interpersonal skills. I conducted the proposed study at Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar (SSN) College of Engineering, an affiliated autonomous technical institution under Anna University. This study describes course-designing in Engineering Communication and English for Specific Purposes} (ESP). The study introduces the course, the course participants, the activities the teacher devised to enhance communication skills and team skills, the teacher-researcher’s observations and reflections of the course, and the students}’ feedback of the same. The responses of the learners indicate that introducing the Life Skills Course would increase learner-participation, and the ability to express themselves freely, and develop their team skills and interpersonal skills. The investigation shows that the course on Life Skills enhanced their confidence and improved their communication skills}.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134195841","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}
