week 2, 1st post

For the "what is communication?" site it talks about communicating with internet sites to transfer information to as many people as possible and as fast as possible. In my career I have a good idea I will be making an internet site for the civil engineering firm I plan to start one day. This article pertains to me because sometimes terminology for civil engineering practices can be confusing. So I am sure I will have to be able to communicate in a way this reading describes as in making the information readable too people on many different levels of education.
In the department of labor document, the topic of proposals is discussed. Before I have my own civil engineering firm, I will be working for other civil engineering firms and most likely be coming up with ideas or proposals. So I will have to do research and work hard to prepare my proposals like the article described.

The TC@MTU article was about the same as the first article, It basically showed different ways of getting information to people in the most efficient way. It talked about websites, manuals, journals, and many more. In my profession I think I will have to know how to read the manuals and journals but I don’t know if I will ever have to write them. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think I will be into that field of civil engineering.

The fourth reading defined technical writing and gave specific does and don’ts. For example technical writing should not include technical jargon, however it should include understandable information. The three other sites said the same thing, this reading just went into more detail.
