The approach is based on the following assumptions: engineering and technical communication involve problem-solving activities best experienced within a team; learning the strategies for effective technical communication and for creative engineering design requires practical experience and constructive feedback from appropriate real-world audiences; and student would benefit from a nontraditional course structure that demands open-ended problem solving. The result was a project-oriented engineering course integrated with a technical communications course which provides students with the environment to develop the desired strategies for problem-solving in a team environment.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":374472,"journal":{"name":"IPCC '88 Conference Record 'On the Edge: A Pacific Rim Conference on Professional Technical Communication'.","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127127051","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}

The author discusses how to choose the online documentation and hypermedia learning products which will best fit into the learning model for a product's particular users. To illustrate this she explains how such learning products are being mapped into the user learning model for Hewlett-Packard's Printed Circuit Design System.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":374472,"journal":{"name":"IPCC '88 Conference Record 'On the Edge: A Pacific Rim Conference on Professional Technical Communication'.","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124914614","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}

Some of the required technical reports included a work control plan, a business profile, and a requirements definition study. The students also prepared progress reports every two weeks throughout the semester, much the same as they would in many business situations. Students were graded on their skills in English, on their ability to analyze and solve problems, and on their presentations of their prototype applications.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":374472,"journal":{"name":"IPCC '88 Conference Record 'On the Edge: A Pacific Rim Conference on Professional Technical Communication'.","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125874520","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}

Testing through verification ensures technical accuracy and written correctness. Procedures are verified first by writers, and then by qualified reviewers through the review and approval process built into the integrated procedures system. Testing through validation ensures usability and operational correctness. Specialists independent of the procedure writer validate procedures using one or more methods: simulator, mock-up, walk-through, table-top, actual use, or reference. Testing of the whole procedures system is provided by feedback from a requirements database, periodic assessments of management programs, trainers, and users.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":374472,"journal":{"name":"IPCC '88 Conference Record 'On the Edge: A Pacific Rim Conference on Professional Technical Communication'.","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114197426","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}

Writing technical English: a comparison of the process of native English and native Japanese speakers 写作技术英语:以英语为母语和以日语为母语的人写作过程的比较

Comparing the composing processes of experienced native Japanese and US technical writers showed that the preference for each phase-prewriting, writing, and rewriting-was idiosyncratic to the author regardless of native language. Process preference correlated with measures of product quality. Specifically, the prewriters produced text with greater lexical cohesion and the rewriters produced text with fewer grammatical and spelling errors. It is concluded that formal prewriting should improve the writing products of both native Japanese and US technical writers.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":374472,"journal":{"name":"IPCC '88 Conference Record 'On the Edge: A Pacific Rim Conference on Professional Technical Communication'.","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134043647","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}

Traditional theoretical approaches can prove inadequate when dealing with electronic information and new methods of learning. Some suggestions for creating a theory of interactive electronic technical communications are presented. The aim of such theoretical investigation is the development of a recursive, multifaceted heuristic with which to generate or evaluate communication. A possible framework would be to examine how communication serves its purpose by superimposing Jakobson's six elements of discourse onto the five canons of classical rhetoric and the three Aristotelian aspects of effective communication.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":374472,"journal":{"name":"IPCC '88 Conference Record 'On the Edge: A Pacific Rim Conference on Professional Technical Communication'.","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131409608","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}
