This book presents technical writing as an approach to researching and carrying out writing that centers on technical subject matter. Each and every chapter is devoted to helping students understand that good technical writing is situationally-aware and context-driven.

Instead, the focus is on offering students a series of approaches they can use to map out their situations and do research accordingly.
