Improve technical writing skills by taking a seminar from Barry Rosenberg—author of Addison-Wesley's Spring Into Technical Writing for Engineers and Scientists.
Presenting ideas is often the most difficult part of a technical professional's job. When writing is frustrating, great ideas can perish. Sloppy specs can lead to expensive delays. Misconstrued e-mails can ignite silly flame wars. Productivity and morale can suffer.
Many technical organizations rely on professional technical writers to do the heavy lifting. However, even in those organizations, engineers and scientists must still spend a significant portion of their time writing. Why not do that portion better? Why not do that portion more efficiently? Why not turn confusion into clarity?
This seminar is a condensed version of a course (21W.780) that I taught for four semesters at MIT. If you'd like more information, please contact me (Barry Rosenberg) at:
