@Eyraz11 Hey Eyra, I agree that for a smooth collaboration everyone should know and execute their part of the projection. I really enjoyed how you mentioned the consultant should be external, eliminaitng all biases

@CMilleriii_F Hey Christian, I like how you acknowledged that public speaking is a skill that has to be developed over time and the only way to truly get comfortable is just repetition.

Green's video about failures relates to the my collaborative project because my group is thinking of analyzing the collapse of Tacoma Narrows Bridge. I have attached an image of the bridge below. In the video Green expands on how with bridge failures there is not (1/2) #RHUB392

The two readings from Module 15 taught me how an engineering report should be structured. As the author, my report should contain analytical data and descriptions that are appealing to my supervisor but also easily understood by the general public. #RHUB392

After reading Suzan Last's Collaborative Writing I was initially shocked by the statistics of much engineers actually have to write. It also stood out to me when she said that a key to collaborations is identifying what you do good and blending your skills with others. #RHUB392

After reading Suzan Last section 8, I learned that the biggest way to improve your presenting skills is to accept the fact that it will be uncomfortable, but it only gets better with time. #RHUB392

studied for a successful outcome. By analyzing our mistakes we expand our horizons and help promote a better future. (2/2)

After reading "The Success of Failure" I understand that in life, but especially as an engineer failure is apart of life. When and idea fails to perform, it does not mean that the individual is a failure, it just means that there were more things that needed to be (1/2) #RHUB392

After reading "Ethics in Technical Communication" the biggest thing that stood out to me was that just because something is legal does not mean it is ethical. This stood out to me because as engineers we are problem solvers and as we are generating solutions is (1/2) #RHUB392

The writing process for writing instructions is actually more complicated than I expected. Mainly due to the face that I have to ensure the instructions are detailed but can also be understood by the most basic of audiences. #RHUB392

@RholdAngelo Hey Rhold,
I like the image you have chosen to use for the project. I believe this graphic will effectively serve its purpose because it shows all of the components come together for the machine to work.

@natas316 Hello Austin,
I also got the same message from this weeks readings. Putting a strong emphasis on adding extra annotation for each image so it can be easier to audience to comprehend.

[Christian Jones @CdJ392]

This is an image I am thinking of using for my written instructions on how to use a MacBook Pro. I would use this image to show how to connect your MacBook to wifi. #RHUB392

Through the readings in the module I learned that it is imperative to know and understand your target audience. Once you know the audience, you can select the proper phrases and images needed to effectively communicate. It also allows you to be direct and not vague. #RHUB392

with each step that make it easier for readers to understand and apply the steps. (2/2)

The instructions for How to Use a Window's Laptop are a great example of how instructions should be written. The author initially addresses the target audience by sayin which computers and software models the instructions are for. There are also visual provided (1/2) #RHUB392

After reading 7.7 "Writing Instructions" one thing that stood out to me was that when writing instructions it is essential that you properly identify the target audience. This will ensure you use proper vocabulary and provide the correct amount of steps for completion. #RHUB392

The writing process while writing my technical description was interesting because I had a topic that was very interesting to me. However, I still found it hard at time on deciding the specific information and graphics I wanted to include. #RHUB392
