Technical Communication

Liz Jarrard, MS

When technical communication breaks down inside an organization, everyone feels it. This resource shows students why it is often the scaffolding for all other communication, and how to do it well. Students learn to research complex topics and become subject matter experts quickly, then produce the documents organizations depend on: research reports and proposals, instructional and training materials, grant writing, and white papers. They apply logic, rhetoric, and document design, use visual content and software to clarify and deliver information, and ensure every communication asset reaches its audience from start to finish. Students finish with skills that bring exactness and discipline to any writing, in a field that offers growing career opportunities.
