Abstract:
The history of Technical Writing closely parallels trends in the discipline of Computer Science. The early technical writers in the computer software industry were its own technicians (programmers and analysts), who used a variety of diagramming techniques to document computer systems. As a result of the widespread availability of computers and software which began in the 1970s, professional communicators joined the software industry and reinterpreted these diagramming techniques from technical source documents into user documentation. The impact of this assimilation process has influenced graphic representations in Technical Writing, as well as created the conceptual metaphors of the “user” and the “module” (which are emerging archetypes). In the past, Technical Writing's historical roots have been the result of reactions to Computer Science. However, the increasing presence of online documentation is now creating opportunities for technical writers to shape their own future by joining with computer scientists as influential equals.

Abstract:
Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) software has gained popularity in the field of writing related research. Most studies focused on perception and acceptance of AWEs and improvements in writing. However, this study was carried out based on the technicality of the writing which are often discussed as readability. The objectives of the study are to investigate the improvement in writing and to compare the results between the control and the experimental groups. The study employed a descriptive research design with two groups (control (n=49) and experimental n=72)) undergoing two tests (pre-test and post-test). The gap between these tests was 10 weeks where the control group went on the traditional teaching and learning method while the experimental group were exposed and trained to use AWE. Using the Flesch Reading Ease Scale and the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, the readability of the writings as well as the grade level required to understand the writings were tested. The findings revealed that the improvement of the readability in the experimental group fared slightly less compared to the control group. However, it is still safe to conclude that AWE does help to improve writings.

Abstract:
Writing assignments for a graduate course in technical writing should develop students' technical backgrounds, their familiarity with reference materials, and their peer editing skills, as well as their writing skills. Also, the assignments should encourage students to write for publication. The three assignments described here—on a scientist, a topic in science, and a topic in technical communication—can help students achieve these objectives. Students write the first two articles for publication in general-audience newspapers or magazines, and the third for the same general audience or for a technical communication conference or journal.

Abstract:
This article is about the profession of technical writing in the Netherlands. The data are mainly based on two studies. The first was directed at technical writers who work as freelancers (external writers). It was done with the objective of learning about the characteristics and backgrounds of external technical writers and about their wishes concerning the development of the profession. The second study was directed at technical writers who work inside organizations (internal writers) and focused on questions about text quality and the writing problems that threaten this quality. We will focus on three issues. After the introduction in the first section and the description of the design of our studies in the second section, we will give a global profile of technical writers in the Netherlands. In the fourth section we will give an impression of the writing problems internal technical writers have to deal with. In the fifth section opinions concerning more professionalism in the field of technical writing are discussed. Also attention is paid to current developments in professionalism.

Abstract:
Because of the work of Francis Christensen, sentence-terminal modification was emphasized in college composition from about 1965 to 1980. The structures emphasized included absolutes, restating and summarizing appositives, participial phrases, non-participial adjective phrases, adjectival clauses and prepositional phrases, and adverbial clauses and phrases. This emphasis, however, had little effect on technical writing, in spite of the practical utility of terminal modifiers. This article, therefore, explains the terminal modifiers and exemplifies them in the context of technical writing; it then examines the texts of representative technical reports to determine the extent to which terminal modifiers are currently used. The findings—generally that the report writers do not take full advantage of terminal modification—indicate that increased attention to terminal modifiers, especially the absolute, the summarizing appositive, and the non-participial adjective phrase, would significantly increase the options for effective expression by technical writers.

Abstract:
This article provides a short history of the continuing issues that modern technical communication and technical communication faculty face. It discusses the first texts and many of the early pedagogical battles: Technical communication faculty faced literature faculty who saw the practical as the work of the devil, despite the fact that technical writing courses remained in high demand. Many recent books presented here discuss the problems of a culture steadily declining in educational quality and students who cannot write.

Abstract:
My research focuses on students who speak English as their first language and are currently enrolled in a technical writing class open to students from many majors. I will report in this post on the outcomes of teaching these students five distinct types of technical writing. In this case, the students in issue have English as their mother tongue. Previous experimental research has shown that it is useful to explicitly teach academic writing to adults who speak English as their first language. The findings of the research have proved this. In contrast, no research on technical writing has ever been conducted compared to this study's level of depth and breadth. In order to investigate these effects, I employed a strategy that included a few different research approaches. In order to present a more comprehensive, in-depth characterization of the 534 texts authored by 316 student authors, this approach consisted of a control-group quasi-experimental design with a qualitative analysis. These were the components that made up the strategy. According to the findings, the participants in the genre workshop created writings with a significantly higher sensitivity to audience, purpose, structure, design, style, and editing than those generated by participants who were taught using more traditional approaches. Participants displayed a superior awareness of audience, aim, and editing while working within the framework of technical genres in the job materials text type instead of the procedures text type. This was the case when comparing the two text types. When contrasting the two different forms of text, this was the result.

Abstract: ‘Communication is important not only in an organization but also in our daily life. When we use communication pertaining to technical, industrial or business matters belong to the category of technical or business communication’’. Scientific and technical writing, a form of technical communication, is a style of writing used in fields of diverse as computer hardware and software, engineering, chemistry, the aerospace, industry, robotics, finance, consumer electronics and biotechnology. Technical writing teams or departments are often referred to as Information development, User Assistance, Technical Documentation, or Technical Publications. Technical writers themselves may be called API writers, information developers, documentation specialists, documentation engineers, or technical content developers. Specific areas to be elaborated on the full paper. “ Nature of scientific and technical documentation-basics of scientific and technical documentation- organization in technical and scientific documentation – style in technical and scientific documentation –ABC of good technical and scientific documentation – history of technical and scientific documentation’. Broadly speaking, technical documentation can be categorized into three types, depending on the style of writing, the level of knowledge transferred and the target audience. End user assistance: These information products help a user understand how ton use a technical software or hardware product. Traditional technical documentation: here the objective of the writer is to communicate with a specific audience.
