For this discussion, locate a technical document from your workplace or from home or the Internet, preferably one that might be found in your career field. Note that Figure 1-1 (page 4) provides a list of technical communication examples. Using the five goals and features of technical communication listed in the textbook (page 4), describe how the document addresses these characteristics. Then, discuss whether or not you feel the document is successful in its overall goal. Provide examples from the document to illustrate. If possible, share the document by posting a link or a PDF of the sample used. Audience Culture and Analysis (graded) As our text states, “one cardinal rule governs all on-the-job writing: Write for your reader, not for yourself” (page 41).

...their various roles in the academic community. In the past decade, Ball State University has experienced growth in activities which are categorized as Sponsored Programs, with the potential for additional growth into the future. With growth comes the need for clarity in policies and procedures to be followed in the administration of these activities in order to meet University and sponsor requirements, and to provide the best possible support and service to all parties involved. It is important Sponsored Programs are identified as such and that each award is routed through the appropriate offices to assure that the acceptance and administration of these activities meet both University and sponsor requirements and that various technical, legal, and financial issues be properly addressed. I. ELEMENTS OF A SPONSORED PROGRAM Whether an external funding falls within the definition of a Sponsored Program is determined by the presence of most of the following elements: Commitment from an External Sponsor: A written commitment from the sponsor, which follows receipt and acceptance of a proposal, may take various forms such as a grant agreement, contract, purchase order, or a letter of award, depending on the type of Sponsored Program and sponsor policy. Restricted Activities and Use of Funds: The use of external funds is restricted to the activities which are agreed upon the external sponsor and the University. The activities are described in a proposal submitted by the University...

...This hub discusses some of the common elements in a research proposal. Whether you are doing quantitative or qualitative research, it is important that you outline the reasons why you propose doing the study and what process or procedures you will follow to complete the proposed study. Some of the important parts of a good quantitative or qualitative research proposal include: 1. Determining the general topic; 2. Performing a Literature review on the topic; 3. Identifying a gap in the literature; 4. Identifying a problem highlighted by the gap in the literature and framing a purpose for the study; 5. Writing an Introduction to the study; 6. Framing research hypotheses and or research questions to investigate or guide the study; 7. Determine the method of investigation 8. Outline the research design 9. Define the Sample size and the characteristics of the proposed sample; 10. Describe the procedures to follow for data collection and data analyses. Determine a General Topic The first step in writing an academic research proposal is to idenitfy a general topic or subject area to investigate. Usually this first point is the easiest because the research proposal will be tied to the overall theme of a course. In such a case, the the general subject for investigation is normally determined by a professor who is leading the class, the school's department chair, or academic advisory committee. Perform a Literature Review The next step...

...a Research proposal and Tips for Literature Review By: Shantiram Dahal 1. Background Human being is the unique product of the nature. In comparison with the other animals, they have most developed nervous and mental system which is very helpful to produce sounds and symbols (letters and numbers) that make possible the communication and recording of their questions, observations, experiences and ideas. To satisfy the curiosity and solving problems of daily life they involve in investigation. In modern times the complexities of human beings are increasing. To reduce such complexities, they have to conduct different research activities. Research is the essential part of graduate and post graduate program. Without conducting any academic research the objectives of the course will not be fulfilled. But conducting research is not as easy as we thought. It is a systematic investigation to acquire new knowledge, information's, facts, appropriate solution to a problem, deduce theory and generalization. It helps scholars to expand the area of knowledge and further study. There are various micro steps should be followed by the teachers for effective academic research. Before conducting research, the researcher have to submit the research proposal for approvable. When the research proposal is approved by the department then the research should be conducted consultation with the research guide. 2. Research proposal The preparation of research proposal is an important...

...Request for Applications 2003-2004 DIABETES RESEARCH BRIDGE GRANTS New York State Health Research Council New York State Department of Health Issued May 16, 2003 Application Deadline: July 14, 2003 Background According to the National Center for Health Statistics of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diabetes is the 8th leading cause of death, nationally. Diabetes is also a leading cause of disability, blindness, limb loss and end stage renal disease. It is associated with half of all heart attacks. Diabetes affects more children than any other serious disease. It is estimated that the approximately 16 million people in the US afflicted with diabetes account for more than $105 billion of annual health care costs. Estimates indicate that currently 1.5 million New Yorkers have been diagnosed with diabetes, while another 500,000 people in the State are either at high risk for developing it, or are undiagnosed. An estimated $8.7 billion in direct and indirect costs result from New Yorkers who are diagnosed diabetics. In 1997 alone, there were 1,096 new cases of diabetes-related blindness and 285,127 diabetes-related hospitalizations in New York. An estimated 12,177 residents of New York died as a result of diabetes in 1997. Because of its high toll in morbidity and mortality, the New York State Legislature established a special program of research regarding diabetes mellitus, in 1985. Section...

...Emirates ABSTRACT This research reports the procedures the writers have employed in teaching several academic and workplace communication skills through engineering multidisciplinary projects (EMDPs). In these projects students are divided into teams, with each team comprising a minimum of three and a maximum of four students from different engineering majors. The students choose and appoint a team leader, choose a research topic/problem in the surrounding environment that requires input from all team members and collaboration from all students, each in his/her respective discipline, in finding a solution to the situation/problem. Team members choose the topics, obtain approval of the topics from cooperating engineering faculty and the course instructor, and then prepare detailed research proposals. They receive specialist feedback on their proposals, and based on how detailed their proposals are, are given the go ahead to proceed with their research. The execution of the research project requires the use of several technical communication skills such as, internet searches; sending email messages; writing formal letters; meeting with officials, engineering academics and experts, as well as giving powerpoint supported oral presentations, EMDP poster presentations and submitting end of research written reports. Keywords: Poster Presentations, Teamwork, Communication Skills, Project Defense 1. INTRODUCTION There has always been...
