Abstract Details

2004, Master of Technical and Scientific Communication, Miami University, Technical and Scientific Communication.
To fulfill one of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Technical and Scientific Communication, I performed a 20-week internship at CTC Parker Automation (CTC) as a technical writer. During the internship, I wrote and edited product communications in the forms of user guides, online help, and installation sheets. I was responsible for all aspects of these communications, including preparing the graphics, coordinating reviews, and preparing the files for printing. I interviewed subject matter experts, such as software, hardware, quality-control, and customer-support engineers, to obtain product and user information. This internship was my first experience in the field of technical communication. I learned the importance of seeking information from experts throughout the company to produce effective user documentation.
