Course Synopsis
“ENG 2700 will provide you with foundational concepts necessary to your work as a writer in professional and technical workplaces. This course adopts a technical communications perspective, which integrates ideas and techniques in writing with design and technology to develop effective texts under a variety of realistic conditions and across written and visual media. As part of your work in ENG 2700, you will be responsible for the thorough study and review of course readings, and the development of a repertoire of writing and design techniques that you will integrate into your own writing process. This will require extensive and dedicated practice on your part. By the end of this course, you will confidently and skillfully create shorter, high-value documents within realistic workplace conditions and expectations.”
Course Documents
The 4-credit ENG 2700 course is the gateway into the Professional and Technical Writing major. Unlike ENG 2575, which I teach as a survey course focused on proposal design and documentation, in ENG 2700 we delved into the document production process and developed a project over many iterations while learning how to build a workflow for more complex projects. As with all student work I share, the sample projects below are released for use within City Tech.
