Purpose
The ability to proficiently use word processors to perform a variety of engineering related tasks is of the utmost importance. As a professional, you are expected to create industry-standard documentation in diverse areas of work such as:
Technical documentation – procedures, project status reports, analyses, change
requests, etc.
Business documentation – proposals, contracts, reports and invoices
Human resources papers – policy & safety manuals, procurement orders, memos, etc.
To start you off in the right direction, you’ll be creating a large document in the
engineering area that interests you. At the same time, you’ll also be learning how to
effectively create such work using Word.
Begin by examining the assignment instructions in the following section to see what the
technical requirements are. Then, select a document type (use the above for ideas) that
you would use in this field to demonstrate your skills, and to show off your ability to
understand what this industry requires. Content isn’t as critical as ensuring you have all
the technical requirements correct, so you have some creative freedom to develop your
work; please ask your instructor for clarification to verify your content is acceptable. Also
consider keeping this document for the future, as you might find it a useful addition to
your portfolio.
