Technical Communication
by Ken Werner
Communicating is what many technical professionals need to do most and
want to do least. And if writing itself is unpleasant, reading about
writing is torture. This new C&D column on technical communication is
designed to help you do what you need to do - and maybe even enjoy it.
We will focus on the communication problems engineers and scientists
really face, and we will provide practical solutions. Solving these
problems involves more than writing, and so will the column. We will
talk about speaking, presentations, computer-driven "slide shows," and
even videotape. We will talk about tools of the trade, including what
word processors and grammar checkers are best for scientific and
technical material. On the writing side, we will tell you how to write
effective memos, proposals, grant applications, magazine articles,
hardware and software documentation, application notes, spec sheets,
and - should worse come to worse - resumes. If you can think of
something else, please let me know. Send me your communication problem
and - if it is of general interest - we will try to come up with a
solution.
Of course, I am not going to do all of this by myself. I will enlist my
colleagues and acquaintances in publishing, public relations, technical
writing, the graphic arts, advertising, and design, as wall as in
science and engineering.
We start with a concise recipe for writing a good article (often called
a "paper") for a technical journal (which the IEEE calls a "transactions").
Of course, it helps if you have something worthwhile to say. But after
you leap that minor hurdle, you could not do better than adhere to the
following advice from Ted Compton.
