@WGuzman2001 this failure really brings to light how what was seen as a simple change actually having a big impact, resulting is deaths. great choice!

after watching hanks video it really helped me see a way in which we can present our report along with giving us same very good stating info in regards to the engineering failure we want to repot on #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

"The Full Technical Report" and "How to Write an Engineering Report" both speak on the importance of structure, something heavily emphasized in reports from overclasses, it really solidifies that knowing the ideal document structure is key for any document #RHUB392

after reading Suzan Last's chapter "Collaborative Writing" I realize that through all my group reports I've done my teams have underutilized our time and if we had followed similar guidelines as Suzans we could have had a lot more time to relax or study for other classes #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

after reading section 8 of Suzan Last's it really brings to light how easy presenting can be if you think it through and exclude emotions such as fears and anxieties. yet those fears and anxieties are the hardest part to get through #RHUB392

@victorreyesSDSU hey victor, its so true how while engineering progress can be seen as "setbacks" in the publics eyes #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

after listening to Henry Petroski's "Understanding Failure" it makes me realize in some ways engineering is just making things not break #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

after reading Ethics in Technical Communication i gained a deeper understanding of how to better create and communicate in a technical manner, while also being able to consider all options and avenues to be as ethical as possible #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

@PatrickScholl15 really good idea to include images of what things should look like, so the reader will know what their parts should look like. #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

i ended up finding these exploded views of 90's Nissan FR(Front engine Rear drive) front and read suspension. my idea will be to use these along with fully assembled pictures to help direct the reader to not only know what the parts are but how they assemble #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

after reading the readings for this module, its clear that just like for the technical writing assignment the written instruction will require images, but the images for the written instruction the images will need more some annotation to help reader understanding

@Romance8231 This I feel will be the hardest part for me from the upcoming assignment, with all the lab reports I've had to write its almost second nature to use past tense and we's.

[Austin Korff @natas316]

after reviewing the written instructions for Brake Pads, more specifically "Replacing" Brake Pads. While i feel it was all there, being an automotive Hobbyist it seems lacking in the title and content. It just tells you what to do but not how to do it and more pictures #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

after reading Suzan section 7.7 when ever i think of written instructions i always gravitate toward build instructions like Ikea or Engine assembly guides, but those are generally filled with pictures so for it to be written might be more of a challenge than i thought #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

@ShibleyZoeSDSU this was something i noticed as well #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

after watching this weeks video lecture on the conclusion and recommendations i realized that the conclusions and recommendation are viewed as separate pieces in the assignment, i was planning on including them as one parts. guess ill have to make a few adjustments to it #RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

@mfloresRWS392 these all look really good, the only way i could see improving the way non-engineering people would be maybe doing a systems comparison image. it is a really tough concept to describe with out video though #rhub392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

after reading over the readings about use of visual elements is that while not expressly stated in each case but that scale was a factor in almost all of the examples
#RHUB392

[Austin Korff @natas316]

@HavinWyatt i always have used visual aids in labs and papers if i can and theses papers supplied really do solidify that adding them can and do help increase the understanding

[Austin Korff @natas316]

After reading the Muscle sliding filament theory paper provided by Prof., while it is quite dense and no my type of topic it did make me realize that just as this person used technical term (through digging i could under stand), sometimes its the only term acceptable #RHUB392
