CSE 390: Technical Communication (3 Credits)

The fundamentals of technical communication using oral, written and visual means
are presented as practised in industry and academia. Clarity of thought,
organisational skills and systematic approaches are emphasised. Students engage
in exercises that focus on technical writing, public speaking, graphic design and
giving presentations. They apply their skills across a broad range of activities,
including critique of presentations and writing of proposals, reports, memoranda,
user manuals, instructional modules, and technical specifications. Techniques
presented are intended to create an appreciation for format and content and to better
prepare students for project documentation and formal presentations.
