Technical writing is the practice of producing clear, concise, and accurate documentation, and it plays a critical role in the sciences – particularly in the life sciences and their related industries. In this six-hour course, participants will learn some of the more advanced techniques and tools that will help them better organize, write, and edit scientific documents, including regulatory documents, manuscripts, grant proposals, posters, presentations, SOPs, protocols, reports (internal or external), articles, and papers.
- Pharmaceutical
- Biomanufacturing
- Cosmetics
- Biotechnology positions for Quality Control
- Quality Assurance
- Regulatory
- Engineering
- Laboratory
- Manufacturing
- Any other associate that is required to write their observations or findings for readers to understand.
- The eight (8) characteristics of good technical writing
- The ten (10) best practices for technical writing
- Numerous examples and exercises demonstrating the application of the best practices in effective technical writing
- The use of artificial intelligence (AI) for technical writing
- Several AI-assisted technical writing demonstrations and student exercises
Students will:
- Understand the role of technical writing in regulated environments and its impact on compliance and risk.
- Apply advanced writing techniques to improve clarity and precision in scientific and technical documents.
- Analyze documents from the reader’s perspective, accounting for audience and risk.
- Evaluate and revise technical documents using established best practices for regulated settings.
- Apply and assess AI tools responsibly to support technical writing in professional contexts.
Delivered in-person in a classroom or lab setting.
