Wk.1 post Technical & Writing

Dictionary.com vaguely defines technical as “marked by or characteristic of specialization; of or relating to a special field or subject.” Now for me, that doesn’t mean too much. Technical employs having knowledge and skills, which are relative in the fields of mathematics and science that works to accomplish a need and/or service. This means a little bit more to me, being an engineering major. I think of things that require knowledge of why and how the world works, in general.
Writing is moreso the application of conveying messages, information, thoughts, feelings, and history by means of characters that represent meaning through a general consensus.
Technical writing is a specific form used in an areana for communicating a set protocol of ideas and information. Technical writing incorporates jargon that is in its simplest, easy to understand form.
Industrial engineers, and engineers alike, use technical writing to memos or design drawings and management assesments, to highly technical design drafts for building and bridges. This type of writing is needed for uniformity and not only saves lives, but has also be blamed (poor conveying of information) for taking lives as well.
