Emmanuel and Matt: Technical Writing Definition

Technical writing is writing done in an understandable language for a specific field of work. For example technical writing in engineering is based upon writing proposals, project progress reports, memos, and interim reports that depend upon the project being worked on and the client the work is being done for. In packaging science technical writing involves emails to suppliers and customers and formal research papers. Also for technical writing you must make sure you communicate in terms that your audience can understand whether it be for others in your field or the general public. Overall technical writing is based upon how well you communicate in a given field of work.
