In English 3050, I completed a lot of professional writing assignments. The major assignments in this course include a resume and cover letter, memos, instructions, and a report.
The resume and cover letter is something used by all professionals in any field. It is the basis for getting a job interview and getting the job. In engineering, resumes and cover letters have the same purpose as in any other field.
The set of instructions assignment will be very useful in engineering. As an engineer, I will be required to explain how certain machinery works and how to use it. Having the experience of writing a set of instructions helps me learn to be specific and to the point in every detail.
The memos that have been completed in this course are different types. For an engineer, the most likely memos required to be written are the user test memo and progress report memo. Both which deal with reporting on an assignment. The user test memo will be used for results of a testing a certain material of item, while the progress report memo will be written for updates on project at the company.
Lastly, the two-component report will be extremely useful because engineers work on many projects. The engineers could be proposing a faster or more efficient way of completing a process within the company. Another option could be that the engineers are doing research on a specific product and its reliability. There are multiple situations where a two-component report is used by engineers.
All these assignments have given me practice and experience with the formatting and design of each document. After this course, I will be able to write a proper resume and cover letter, a set of instructions, a variety of memos, and a two-component report.
