15-221 Technical Communication for Computer Scientists

9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

The course is designed for sophomore computer science majors to improve their abilities in practical, professional communications both written and oral. It aims to help students compose clear, concise technical writings and oral presentations for multilevel audiences. Assignments include technical definitions, descriptions, instructions, process explanations, abstracts, memos, and research reports. Assignments may incorporate recent computer science research at Carnegie Mellon, projects in related technical courses, and professional case studies. Sophomores will likely find the course more useful if they have either had an internship or facultysupervised research, including SURG projects prior to enrollment.
