Introduction

Science and technology are human endeavors. They are about people learning about the physical world, and using what they learn to change that world. Centuries ago, it was possible for one person to know much of what was known about the physical world. Those days are long past. Today, science and technology advance as teams of people pool their knowledge and understanding to take on increasingly complex problems. To succeed in this world, it is not enough just to know an important fact or have a good idea. You must be able to communicate your ideas to others.
Technical communication is in many ways like other forms of communication. To communicate well, you need to be clear and precise. Technical communication, however, uses some tools that are different than what you will find in everyday writing and speaking. This document will guide you in preparing technical documents. Some of what you will find in this document is slanted toward the writing of an undergraduate laboratory report, but the skills you will learn as you use this guide will serve you well in whatever field of science or technology you choose as a career.

Definition of Technical Communication

Technical communication is the process of conveying technical information through writing, speech, and other mediums to a specific audience. Information is usable if the intended audience can perform an action or make a decision based on it . Technical communicators often work collaboratively to create products (deliverables) for various media, including paper, video, and the Internet. Deliverables include online help user manuals, technical manuals, specifications, process and procedure manuals, reference cards, training, business papers and reports.
