What is the difference between technical writing and academic writing?
Technical Writing vs. Academic WritingSince there is a discussion of the differences between academic writing and technical writing, let me give you the perspective of someone who has done both. There are very important differences between academic and technical writing. One must also realize that there are also different types of academic writing and different types of technical writing.First of all, the purposes and audiences are different between academic and technical writing. The purposes of academic writing can be: 1) to present the results of one's knowledge, 2) to present the results gained from one's personal research, and 3) to present one's point of view. Of course, both technical and academic writing is laden with jargon, but the jargon is usedfor different purposes. As far as technical writing is concerned, the purposes of technical writing can be: 1) to teach someone how to use a specific product or service; and 2) to describe the procedures that are employed by companies for carrying out various tasks.The audiences are completely different. The academic is writing to fellow scholars, and often, depending on the journal or publication, to the general public. The technical writer is writing to the user of the product or the service, or to government inspectors who need to see how the company carries out certain tasks. Users, of course, differ from product to product. In addition, technical writing differs from area to area. Forexample, writing documentation for software is different from writing documentation for hardware.When I took a technical writing course as part of my professional retraining, I had to unlearn a lot of what I had been doing as an academic writer. We are dealing with different styles of writing altogether. Also, there is good and bad academic and technical writing, and a good academicwriter may not become a good technical writer and vice versa. I have seen downright awful academic writing, where the author wrote extremely unclear and obscure prose, and I have seen extremely garbled technical writing, where it was difficult to follow the instructions.The important variable here is teachability. If an academic writer who wants to become a technical writer is not teachable, especially coming from the academic and liberal arts world, he/she will not be a good technical writer. Good academic writing is not enough - teachability is the most important factor. One of the most important tasks of interviewers of candidates for technical writing jobs, especially candidates who have nothad professional experience, is not just simply to look at the writing samples of the candidates, but to assess how teachable they are. If the candidate has both academic and technical writing samples, the interviewer should be able to assess whether the candidate has grasped the differences between the two types of writing. This is one way to measure teachability.A bit of advice for academics who want to go into technical writing is to peruse all the various types of manuals and documentation written by technical writers to get a sense of what is involved in technical writing.
What is the No. 1 rule of technical writing?
Clarity of expression. Any intelligent person should be able to discern you message , even if what you are writing is outside their area of training, it should be making some logical sense.
What tools should I focus on learning in order to get my first technical writing job?
A good tool is to write a technical report on the technical product of your choice, meaning a product you are already familiar with. Another tool is to take courses on technical writing. Learning all the common buzz words associated with the technical details of a personal computer for example. Use your own PC as an example and write all you know about operating your PC using technical words such as RAM or CPU speed.
Are electronic organizers practical to use?

What practical question should you ask yourself bwefore you begin writing?
Before beginning writing, you should ask yourself: What is my purpose for writing this piece? Who is my target audience? What is the main message or idea I want to convey? What is the best structure or format for presenting my ideas effectively?

Identify two ethical principles that should guide technical communications Explain each of the principles you chose and provide an example of why each is important?
Identify two ethical principles that should guide technical communications. Explain each of the principles you chose and provide an example of why each is important. Goal-Based principles help guide every technical document. There is a good and bad to everything in life, we all strive to pick the right and paint the picture accordingly in each document or paper we write. This is the goal of every writer. In technical writing think of it as picking the right way to describe your point or explanation to meet the goal of the reader understanding how to do it or why it is correct. Duty-Based principles are the principles that do not bend on altering the truth or using information that is not yours without proper citations. I'm sure when writing we have all mistakenly not cited our sources the proper way, this is a mistake, but if done on purpose this is against our duty-based principles when writing. Reep, D. (2011).
