Technical Composition

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Technical writing involves creating written content used in technical and professional fields, including areas like computer hardware and software, engineering, chemistry, aeronautics, robotics, finance, healthcare, consumer electronics, biotechnology, and forestry. It represents the largest subfield within technical communication. According to the Society for Technical Communication, technical communication is any form of communication that meets one or more of these criteria: (1) It addresses technical or specialized subjects, such as computer software, medical procedures, or environmental regulations. (2) It utilizes technology as a medium, such as web pages, help documentation, or social media platforms. (3) It provides instructions on how to complete a task, regardless of its technical complexity.
