English 2100 Technical Writing
The final assignment for this course was the creation of a Professional Portfolio that shows my technical writing skills and would be an ideal career packet for my college or future job application. It includes a cover letter, a table of contents, and some technical document samples that I produced during the course. This portfolio was also designed so that it could be printed and left with the application committee. My Professional Portfolio has been included below.

Reflection
It has been very gratifying to learn the many different forms and uses of Technical Writing that are widely used in the workplace today. It is very important to have skills in technical writing, especially in this day and age, and this course has opened my eyes to that need. Nearly every career requires skills in this area.
Communications through Technical Writing has a very broad range. Throughout this course we learned about many forms of technical writing such as simple emails, different types of letters and memos, analytical reports, and actual presentations. We learned how to plan, research for, draft, and revise these different forms of communication, as well as how to format them to be audience friendly. It was also especially rewarding to acquire new information regarding personal and social ethics in the technical workplace.
This Technical Writing course has been enlightening! The skills and understanding that have been obtained will definitely be useful as I continue in my career objective.
