Weekly Writing Assignment, Week 6

After watching this week’s lecture and making notes on it, write a memo following the basic model shown below. The first part is a discussion of possible topics for your Research-Based Technical Report, and the second part is a list of 10 potential sources that you find using Academic Source Complete (EBSCO) via the City Tech Library.

[Part 1 text:] 250 words discussing your possible three terms and conclude with your final choice and why you chose it.

[Part 2 text:] The ten following sources form the beginning of my research on [state your selected topic again]. [Use the “Cite > APA” tool on each article page on Academic Search Complete (EBSCO) to find the citation and then copy-and-paste it below. And, remember to organize them alphabetically according to the first author’s last name as demonstrated below.]

    So the three possible topics that I’m going to be discussing will be computer engineering, Python programming language and Technical writing. First off, computer engineering is the branch of engineering that integrates several fields of computer science and electronic engineering that is required to aid in the development of computer hardware and software. The usual tasks that are involved in computer engineering are writing both software and firmware for embedded microcontrollers, learning how to design VLSI chips, designing analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems. The second possible topic will be the python programming language. Python as we know it is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. It has a unique design which helps put an emphasis on code readability with its use of significant indentation. Due to the fact that Python is an object-oriented programming language, this can help programmers aim to write clear, logical code for both small and large-scaled projects. Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages of all time. The third and final possible topic will be technical writing. Technical writing is the practice of documenting processes, such as software manuals or instructional materials. It was originally limited to user manuals of some sort but now includes reports, executive summary statements, and briefs. In other words, technical writing has come to encompass a whole lot more in terms of technical processes. The topic that I’m going to choose will be the Python programming language. I’m choosing the Python programming language as my topic because I enjoy it as a programming language and how efficient it truly is when it comes to coding websites and coding overall.
