Technical Writing for Today and Tomorrow offers students a comprehensive approach to the process and products of technical writing. In addition to grounding scientific and industrial writing in rhetorical practice and compositional models, the text tackles contemporary issues related to technical writing, including scientific literacy, intellectual property, collaborative writing, emerging media, and more.
The book offers an integrated approach to communications in science and industry, teaching students the complete process of planning, researching, designing, and refining message in content, as well as modeling their successful outcomes. Part I explores the essential principles of technical writing, including the development of sound rhetorical strategy, appropriate phrasing and tone, and solid reasoning and arguments. In Part II, students learn about the critical nature of readability and design in technical writing. They examine sentence structure, flow, document design, and more. The final part focuses on the various documents and contexts of technical writing, discussing practical applications, reports, public documents, presentations, and press.
