Reading, “How to Write an Engineering Report” I can say that this skill is necessary for all engineers. Writing an engineering report is needed in every engineering job. Doing this well will help others expand on your findings from your experiment and build from there. #RHUB392

Reading, “Ethics in Technical Communication” I was very interested in the copyright section. In this day and age, one must be very careful not to fall victim to copyright. Understanding these laws and knowing what can be used and in what situation is vital. #RHUB392

I will be using this picture to show the audience what an oil wrench looks like since they aren’t common tools. #RHUB392

An important concept in Last’s “Communicating with Precision,” are her 7 C’s. These are listed as, “Clear, Coherent, Concise, Concrete, Correct, Complete, Courteous.” By referencing the 7 C’s and following them we can be sure that our writing has a professional style.#RHUB392

@KhalidB49313685 Simplicity is definitely key to help the audience to follow along. Once again we have to refer back to some of Suzan’s previous chapters we have read. We must write in a way that allows all levels of audience to understand our writing.

Looking at the ikea example, the use of the table of contents is nice to be able to locate a certain step in the process that the audience needs to reread. I do believe they could do a better job explaining which small screw or pin they are using in each step. #RHUB392

From reading section 7.7, the part that stood out the most for me was when the mood of the audience was addressed. She wrote about how the audience “rarely want to read the instructions”. She also wrote that we should format the instructions for “reluctant readability.” #RHUB392

[Cameron Whitfield @Cameron95802905]

@RileyLivers I agree. The way the author of the example made the recommendation very easy to understand. The way they introduced a potential issue and a recommended solution for it.

[Cameron Whitfield @Cameron95802905]

From the video, the conclusion is so important to quickly yet concisely summarize your points. The conclusion is the last thing the writer reads so it has a large impact on the audience and how they perceive your piece. #RHUB392

After reading over both articles in Module 7, I can appreciate the thought process behind visual rhetoric. If I look back at reading a difficult section of my textbooks, the visual aids are extremely helpful without me really even acknowledging the thought behind it #RHUB392

[Cameron Whitfield @Cameron95802905]

@BigJPrado The way that it was broken down was very interesting. It helps a lot when the audience can understand what is being discussed regardless of whether we know the guitar or not.

[Cameron Whitfield @Cameron95802905]

After reading the student technical description papers, I realized how essential it is to write in a way that is comprehensible to your target audience. If you write too technical or at too difficult of a level, there will be an immediate disconnect with your audience. #RHUB392

[Cameron Whitfield @Cameron95802905]

In chapter 7.4, Suzan Last discuses the importance of describing mechanisms by selecting, "details that can be described precisely and measurably." This allows the reader to picture the mechanism and understand the important details that the writer wants to convey. #RHUB392

@mfloresRWS392 I was also very interested in deep diving into this journal. I love looking into rockets so this seems right up my alley!

[Cameron Whitfield @Cameron95802905]

I will probably end up using a top journal called, "Progress in Aerospace Science." I think this will be nice to get a good overview of a process or mechanism I want to write on. It will definitely be a broad journal, but it's nice to see the big picture sometimes. #RHUB392

[Cameron Whitfield @Cameron95802905]

To deep dive into what you use or reference to verify it’s validity is essential. (2/2)

[Cameron Whitfield @Cameron95802905]

I think the biggest take away from Suzan Last’s “Finding and Evaluating Research Sources” is to be very careful what sources and information you use in your research. There are a lot of misleading sources and information that can be false or deceiving. Taking time (1/2) #RHUB392
