Emphasizing Important Information in a Technical Description Prompt

English 235

Due: 11:59 pm August 2, 2020 in Canvas

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze and revise a technical description document after you have completed some research into the topic area. Your analysis and revision should address issues of titles/headings, information flow (topics) and size (paragraphs vs chunks), transitions, and fine details. While you should analyze the document before researching and revising, you must also write a short reflective response about the process of analysis, research, and revision.

By completing this assignment, the problem you are trying to solve is how best to revise the document so that it appropriately deals with the issues at hand (the problems raised inDocument B.2

Actions), incorporates new research, and best communicates the information it contains.

Skills

This assignment will reinforce the following skills that are necessary in professional and technical communication:

Analysis of information
Focus on important issues
Constructing clear and concise prose
Revision of pre-existing work product
Conducting outside research to integrate into a document
Balance of detailed and general knowledge for a broad audience
- Knowledge

Understanding audience needs and expectations is one of the most foundational components of professional and technical writing. Therefore, successful completion of this assignment requires that you consider your audience,both instructors/students in a college engineering program and prospective students for that program, and frame your analysis and document revision to be most successful for that audience.

Task

Completion of this assignment should generally follow the proceeding steps:

Establish a calendar with deadlines for each of the major steps of the writing process that follow.
Review the source material (Document B.1Actions, Draft of the Description of 3D Printing;Document B.2Actions, Dr. Juneja’s E-mail; the case background outlined below) multiple times to build expertise.
Spend time analyzing each of the major components of the document.
- Schedule different analysis sessions for each of the different sections.
- Focus on identifying strengths and weaknesses of each section:
  - Document B.2Actionsto focus your analysis on the 5 specific revision points identified in the document.
- Conduct research on 3D printers/printing that connects to the five revision areas identified inDocument B.2Actions.
- Draft an outline of the revised document that incorporates pertinent information from your research.
- Work on revising each section in turn based on the data you gathered during your analysis, your research material, and revision outline.
- Schedule a short usability test (i.e., peer review) to receive feedback on your revisions.
- Implement any additional changes identified during usability test.
- Complete Reflective Response Prompt (see below).
- Submit final revision of document and Reflective Response Prompt by due date.

To give yourself the best chance of producing a successful document revisionyou will want to avoid making the following decisions. In other words,don’t do these things:

Wait until the day before the assignment is due to start.
Don’t conduct any research.
Don’t test the document.
- E., don’t go to the writing center, have peers read revised document, etc.
Do no specific analysis of the document prior to revising.

Concepts of 3-D Printing
A 3-D printer is a device that enables the creation of three-dimensional objects by creating them by layer by layer. 3-D printers function by creating layers, which are thin cross-sections of objects that need to be build. In order to build a complete object each layer is attached seamlessly to the layer beneath it. The functioning of 3-D printers begins with Computer Aided Design (CAD) files. These files consist of the blueprint that 3-D printers use to create objects. 3-D printers make use of software that are capable of slicing the design into thin horizontal layers. This exact information is read and interpreted accordingly. 
Process Used by 3-D Printers
3-D printers make use of additive processes. As mentioned by Ligon et al. (2017), this means that the person using the software and the printer starts with nothing and uses instructions from software to add layer after layer to build up the objects as necessary. This is an exact opposite of subtractive process, in which the unwanted material is eliminated and the person is left with only what is required.
Usage of 3-D Printers
3-D printers and 3-D printing techniques have been widely accepted by a number of designers and designer brands all across the globe. 3-D printers have managed to gain popularity in the customizable gifts industry business. Products such as customizable models of arts,
