Installing a solar heating system

Installing a solar heating system

Choose a Technical or Scientific Topic. Begin by reviewing the assigned reading for unit 4. You will then choose your own topic for this assignment. In order to give you practice in technical writing, you must choose a technical or scientific topic. Recipes are not technical or scientific, and thus are not allowed. Ideally, a topic requires a series of steps for assembly or various specific tasks to complete.  A topic relevant to nursing may be a good idea, buttopics such as “checking blood pressure” “collecting a urine sample” are too common and are not allowed for this assignment. 

Choose a topic involving ten (10) or more steps. The following are a few examples of projects from previous classes: 

·        
Setting up a small network in your home office

·        
Building and hosting your own website

·        
Installing a solar heating system 

·        
Assembling a skateboard

·        
How to change an electrical outlet

·        
How to sew an A-line skirt 

Write to a specific audience. You must specify an audience for your instructions. In most instances, your audience should be novice–someone who has never performed the task before
