Analysis Of Audience, Purposes And Context
Communication can be defined as the process by which information is conveyed to an audience either through the use of words, diagrams and symbolic work. In addition, successful communication is highly based on the particular audience at the specified period since the message is being conveyed to them. It is worth noting that, all technical communication serves specific purposes and the target audience is by far, one of the most important aspects. Audience influences the purpose and context of technical communication through, the fact that the author has the responsibility of meeting the required needs of any particular audience at a specified period. He ought to ensure there is increased use of graphs and diagrams for the sole purpose of analyzing and capturing the audience’s attention. The target audience is the engineering students and on the other hand, EGR is a method of engineering designs including project, management and key skills and therefore, based on the particular EGR 386w, it highly affects the audience at a specified period (NorthernArizonaUniversity).
Clear, Concise And Comprehensive Communication
Any particular presentation ought to ensure clarity for easier understanding by the particular target audience. However, it is quite challenging to achieve a balance in having both work that upholds clarity and at the same time, ensure the work is comprehensive. This is due to the complexity of engineering generally and certain aspects require a higher level of understanding to ensure that the audience can effectively grasp the information. The inability to strike a balance has occurred severally when carrying out individual research in that, certain information in engineering are mathematical in nature and this makes it quite difficult to simplify mathematical formulae that have been provided for as numbers are constant and any effort to manipulate it, would eventually lead to the whole concept being changed.
Ethical Communication
This is quite important when making an analysis with regards to facilitating engineering factors that would lead to the betterment of the community generally. Therefore, the importance of the ethical technical communication on EGR 386W is that it enhances a code of conduct by which engineers are expected to conform to and as a result, enhance their efficiency. On the other hand, one of the factors that can be deemed unethical is the manipulation of particular data for the purpose of pleasing the audience at large. This is regarded as being a misrepresentation and violation of the ethical conduct that has been set by the engineering practitioners board. This would be important to engineers and stakeholders as through manipulation of data, it may lead to occurrence of fault projects altogether that may be disastrous.
Technical Writing Convention
One of the technical writing convention that has proved to be quite challenging is the concept of the organization as it is quite difficult to examine the target audience and provide reasonable information required. Certain audiences may find it difficult to understand the information provided regardless of the fact that it might have been comprehensibly and precisely to the point.
