Cases for Technical and Professional Writing bridges the gap between the classroom and the professional world by giving students a realistic arena in which to apply their knowledge and skills in communication. The cases give students problems in real-world communication set in organizational contexts that replicate in detail their technical and professional roles, the audiences who need their writing, and the necessary technical information. Each case traces the problem-solving experiences of an actual professional in a business, industrial, or government setting and has students write reports, memos, letters, and other documents required in the particular situation. For many years cases have been a proven teaching tool for helping students apply what they have learned in the classroom to practical problems they will face on the job in such fields as business and engineering. Cases help students integrate knowledge acquired in school and apply it under conditions of uncertainty- mirroring real situations in which problems are imperfectly formulated, information is often incomplete, and constraints such as personalities, organizational culture, and politics intrude on textbook solutions.
