Abstract Details

2015, Master of Technical and Scientific Communication, Miami University, English.
This internship report discusses my 14-week internship as the technical writing intern with the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) in Columbus, OH, completed August 2009 through December 2009. My main responsibility during the internship was to create documentation for the Ellipse Optimization Project (EOP). The report has four chapters that discuss the organizational structure and culture at COTA, the documentation I created for the EOP, and my reflections on employment both during and after the internship period. The first chapter provides an overview of COTA, its organizational structure and culture, and my role as an intern. The second chapter discusses the various deliverables I worked on during my internship. The third chapter discusses a document on which I spent the majority of my time. Finally, the fourth chapter is a reflection on organizational changes at COTA that influenced my documentation process.
