Professional Technical Writing
My Courses
ENG 4700, “Special Topics in PTW,” explores the real-world technical and collaborative skills needed for success in the professional and technical writing workplace. It is an advanced course in theories and practice of communication, especially for new media. This iteration of ENG 4700 will use the formation of a PTW Student Club to simulate work situations and create media artifacts that can be featured in a professional portfolio.
This theory and practice-based course provides a theoretical overview of the concepts and practices of information architecture: organization, labeling, navigation, search, and metadata. Students develop practical skills through the study of human-computer interaction.
ENG1710 Intro to Language and Technology, SP2018
In this rewarding and challenging introductory class, we will endeavor to understand the deep and complex relationship between language and technology through readings and discussion. You will apply your insights and discoveries to a major research project focused on a single form of technology-mediated communication. What you learn will have important significance to a successful career in technical communication.
ENG1133 Specialized Communication for Technology Students, FA2017
This is Prof. Ellis’ ENG1133 class for Fall 2017.
ENG2570 E282 Writing in the Workplace, SP2017
One’s success in the workplace depends almost as much on what you know as how you communicate with others. Without the skills of writing a variety of documents, speaking confidently to an audience, and performing meaningful research that enriches your work and enables others to do their work, you will find yourself left behind while others with those so-called soft skills make strides in their own careers. This class gives you opportunities to strengthen your workplace communication skills through projects and daily writing activities. It is through doing this work over time that you develop communication acumen.
