Technical Communication And Its Applications

Disk contains: Template of sample student laboratory report -- Templates of ten different type of business letters and memos -- Templetes or résumés and letters from Chp. 25.

Taking as its point of departure the fundamental observation that games are both technical and symbolic, this collection investigates the multiple intersections between the study of computer games and the discipline of technical and professional writing. Divided into five parts, Computer Games and Technical Communication engages with questions related to workplace communities and gamic simulations; industry documentation; manuals, gameplay, and ethics; training, testing, and number crunching; and the work of games and gamifying work. In that computer games rely on a complex combination of written, verbal, visual, algorithmic, audio, and kinesthetic means to convey information, technical and professional writing scholars are uniquely poised to investigate the intersection between the technical and symbolic aspects of the computer game complex. The contributors to this volume bring to bear the analytic tools of the field to interpret the roles of communication, production, and consumption in this increasingly ubiquitous technical and symbolic medium.

"Effective Teaching of Technical Communication broadens our understanding of current effective teaching and pedagogical methods by facilitating a discussion of important and innovative theories, concepts, and practices related to the teaching of technical communication"--

Technical Communication for Engineers has been written for undergraduate students of all engineering disciplines. It provides a well-researched content meticulously developed to help them become strategic assets to their organizations and have a successful career. The book covers the entire spectrum of learning required by a technical professional to effectively communicate the technicalities of his subject to other technocrats or to a non-technical person at their proper levels. It is unique inasmuch as it provides some thoughtful pedagogical tools that help the students attain proficiency in all the modes of communication. Key Features • Marginalia, which are spread throughout the book to clarify and highlight the key points. • Tech Talk passages, which throw light on the latest advancements in communication technology and their innovative use • Application-based Exercise, which encourages the readers to apply the concepts learnt to real-life situation • Language-based Exercise (Grammar & Vocabulary) to help readers assess their language competency • Ethical Dilemma, which poses a complex hypothetical situation of mental conflict on choosing between difficult moral imperatives • Experiential Learning-based Exercise (Project Work) devised to help learner ';feel' or ';experience' the concepts and theories learnt and thereby gain hands-on experience

This two-volume set CCIS 166 and CCIS 167 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Digital Information and Communication Technology and its Applications, DICTAP 2011, held in Dijon, France, in June 2010. The 128 revised full papers presented in both volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 330 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Web applications; image processing; visual interfaces and user experience; network security; ad hoc network; cloud computing; Data Compression; Software Engineering; Networking and Mobiles; Distributed and Parallel processing; social networks; ontology; algorithms; multimedia; e-learning; interactive environments and emergent technologies for e-learning; signal processing; information and data management.

The text material has been restructured to provide a more balanced and exhaustive coverage of the subject.The text discusses the core concepts of technical communication and explains them with the help of numerous examples and practice exercises. The book also provides support for soft skills laboratory sessions through a companion CD.With its in-depth coverage and practical orientation, the book is useful not only for students, but also as a reference material for corporate training programmes.
