Assignment:
1.) What is Technical Writing? * Technical Writing is a specialized form of exposition: that is, written communication done on the job, especially in fields with specialized vocabularies, such as science, engineering, technology, and the health sciences. (Along with business writing, technical writing is often subsumed under the heading of professional communication.)

2.) What is the importance of Technical Writing? * The importance of Technical Writing can be seen in a variety of applications, both in consumer products as well as the industrial environment. Without clear, precise writing that outlines the specifications and directions for use, products can become meaningless at best and dangerous at worst. Technical writing provides a context to products and processes, and allows them to be used safely and as intended.

3.) Style of Technical Writing * Write clear sentences. * Keep the main idea on top. * Use normal word order. * Use active voice. * Use parallelism. * Repeat for emphasis. * Avoid wordiness. * Avoid redundancy. * Choose a tone. * Use positive words and verbs. * Tune to the audience.

4.) Types of Technical Writing * User Documentation Technical writers compose instruction materials that accompany products including consumer electronics, home appliances and items such as furniture that require assembly before use.

* Technical Information Programmers and engineers depend on white papers, project specifications and reference guides to design software and other products. Researchers write observation reports, data analyses and papers for specialized scientific journals.
