概述

技术交流 is the science and art of creating, managing, and sharing information through every communication medium—including writing, video, illustration, websites, and multi-media. If you’ve ever assembled something with an instruction set, or made a purchasing decision based on a product review, or needed to follow a protocol to be successful at work, you’ve already reaped the benefits of a technical communicator’s work. However, these specific examples can’t capture the true power of this kind of work. 技术传播者塑造信息; and in doing so, they shape our world and create possibilities. In an increasingly technical and specialized world, the ability to communicate anything to anyone in any medium is invaluable. Whether you want a 技术交流 career or simply want to give voice to your vision in another specialized field (such as the sciences, engineering, or medicine), a minor or certificate in 技术交流 prepares you to make a profound difference in the rapidly evolving, complex world of today and the foreseeable future.

Technical communicators are in strong demand across the nation and especially throughout Utah, where the concentration of high technology industries provides exceptional opportunities for professionals with strong technical and scientific communication skills. Our program has a diverse faculty, as well as a host of courses rich in both theory and practice. The program produces technical communicators whose education does not conclude when they receive their diplomas; rather it infuses them with a lifelong professional curiosity through a rich curriculum that rewards critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and effective communication.

课程概述

在弗吉尼亚大学,有多种方式可以参与技术交流课程。 A minor or emphasis in Writing Studies requires some mandatory technical communication classes along with a few electives. Other classes in Writing Studies teach students about the ethical and social contexts of writing which adds important depth to the complexity of all professional writing. 学生s with a more focused eye on a Technical Communication career may want to look into our 技术交流 minor and certification. The minor and certificate paths require fewer classes without sacrificing the rigor and depth of knowledge required to jumpstart your 技术交流 career.

The core of all options is our introduction to technical communication course which covers essential technical genres and the basics of technical style and design. Subsequent classes cover fundamentals in editing, strategies for collaboration, digital design software, and genre specific composition. Internship opportunities with local companies also build real world experience into your educational plan and allow you to start building professional contacts before graduation.
