Technical Writing

Service Description

Work with a real engineer and researcher to develop a scientific report, executive summary, funding proposal, public blog, and final presentation for a topic of your choosing. What this includes: ● Weekly 1.5-hr group lecture/discussion sessions to learn and strengthen key technical writing forms/concepts, ● Curated reading/annotation assignments personalized based on topic-space of interest from real academic papers, research proposals, and public-facing press, ● Step-by-step writing assignments including peer review and detailed instructor feedback (alternating weeks with reading assignments), ● Get a discounted rate on optional weekly one-on-one feedback/office hour discussion to dig into personalized practice and focus-areas. Only $18 for a half-hour session! STEM education is focused on building up technical skill in a field, but often neglects communication of these complex ideas. Communication quality is a key barrier to advancing in a technical career, from academic publications, to funding proposals, to summaries for executives. Understanding how to break down and explain subject matter expertise in an audience-targeted framework provides an enormous jumpstart to any STEM learner, both in academia and industry. Practice analytical reading and writing of a variety of technical formats to build understanding of how the purpose and audience of a piece of writing impacts language, scope, and use of technical conventions. Get comfortable breaking down complex ideas to better build your own knowledge of a topic, and reading between the lines to uncover the social machinery behind science and engineering. Explore STEM topics you care about and get ready to share your own great ideas to stakeholders of all kinds. Using an existing technical subject (either a STEM topic of interest, or a project that the student has completed for personal interest or another class), the student will develop a scientific report, executive summary, funding proposal, news article/blog, and final presentation with feedback and mentorship at every step of the way.
