ENL 266: Technical Communications: U3: Team Project

Clear communication of your work to your supervisor and/or a client will be essential to your career. This guide has tips and links to help you perfect this skill.

Option A

Option A: Student teams create a step-by-step guide to help other people accomplish a specific task and then post their instructions on the Internet and interact with the people who have read and/or used their instructions. Students may post their instructions to sites such as http://instructables.com or http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Main_Page or http://blog.makezine.com/projects/

Option B

Students identify a problem in their community that can be resolved with a user guide (for example, a user manual for the ECE campus lab to introduce new UMass Dartmouth engineering students to the equipment). Students use their technical communication skills to describe and document technical objects, processes, and ideas to meet the needs of specified users.
