    WHAT IS TECHNICAL WRITING ?
    TECHNICAL WRITING is a term
    that includes a wide variety of documents
    in science, engineering and other fields.
    Technical writing is not the product
    of the spoken word converted to print;
    it is the result of knowing
    how to structure information
    to achieve an intended purpose.

    Introduction
    Beginning to write may be a hard task
    for most people
    as ideas come mixed up
    in a disorderly manner.

    In trying to get started,


    many different aspects come into mind:
    - content,
    - style,
    - grammar, etc.
    and it may be difficult to cope with them all
    at the same time:

    5
    THE PURPOSE OF THIS COURSE
    It is to give students
    some kind of
    systematic approach
    which takes into consideration
    the most important aspects of writing.
    1. Preparation
    3. Organization
    4. Writing
    5. Revision

    6
    Writing process
    The best way to ensure
    that your writing will succeed
    is to approach writing
    using the following steps:

    1. Pre-writing.
    Before beginning to write
    you should invest some time
    planning what to write and
    how to transmit the information.
    In order to do this you should consider
    (a) audience and purpose (who you are writing to and why),
    (b) tone and style (how you transmit the information),
    (c) gathering of information and
    (d) organizing the information.

    7
    2. Writing.
    Once you have gathered and organized the information,
    you can begin writing a first draft.
    Write the rough draft,
    concentrating entirely
    on converting your outline
    into sentences and paragraphs.
    Do not be concerned in the rough draft
    about exact word choice
    (unless it comes quickly and easily)
    —concentrate instead on ideas.

    8
    At this stage,
    it is important to consider
     the development and coherence of the paragraphs
    of the text.
     writing an introduction last
    because then you will know more precisely
    what is in the body of the draft.
    Your should announce the subject
    and give readers essential background information,
    such as the document’s primary purpose.
     the writing conventions
    established by the technical and scientific community.
     Finally, you will need to write a conclusion
    that links the main ideas together .

    9
    3. Post-writing.
    This final stage involves:
    (a) revising content and organization,
    Do not try to revise for everything at once.

    Read your rough draft several times,


    each time looking for and correcting
    a different set of problems or errors.

    (b) proofreading and peer review.


    proofreading means to check and correct a
    written text for errors in spelling , grammar
    and pun.
    peer review means to review before
    publication
