Florida Technological University College of Engineering Thesis; This is a study of the methods of control of an advanced military communication system. The Tactical Communication Control System has been conceived t o meet the demands of military users which are currently both analog and digital but steadily evolving to all - digital . It is a study of the design and application of multiplexers, modems, processors, switches, and other nodal equipment to accommodate communications among telephone and data users in a tactical environment. The main points of interest are the communication node and the control techniques used to carry out system objectives. ; 1975-01-01 ; M.S. ; Engineering ; Masters ; This record was generated from author submitted information. ; Electronically reproduced by the University of Central Florida from a book held in the John C.

Discusses the challenges of intercultural communication in engineering, technical, and related professional fields Given today's globalized technical and engineering environment, intercultural communication is an essential topic for engineers, other technical professionals, and technical communicators to learn. Engineering programs, in particular, need to think about how to address the ABET requirement for students to develop global competence and communication skills. This book will help readers learn what intercultural communication is like in the workplace-which is an import

"The revised edition of A Research Primer for Technical Communication : Methods, Exemplars, and Analyses provides an introduction to research methods in technical communication. This practical volume provides a thorough introduction to conducting and critically reading research in technical communication, complete with exemplars of research articles for study. The book is presented in two sections. The first section discusses the role of research in technical communication and explains in plain language how to conduct and report such research. The second section is a collection of articles from journals that serve as exemplars of the major types of research projects, followed by commentary breaking down how it corresponds to the information on that research type. In addition to five new chapters of exemplars, this second edition contains a new chapter dedicated to usability studies. Fit for both researchers and conscientious readers, this book is an essential introduction to research methods for students of technical communication as well as for those in industry who need to do research on the job"--

This paper reports on an experiment to test the hypothesis that people respond better to risk communication that reflects more closely the conditions of their social and cultural lives. The experiment used the case of radon to determine whether technical or narrative forms of risk communication were more effective at drawing people's attention, imparting information, and modifying behavior. Two series of articles on radon were placed in the local newspapers of two Massachusetts communities. Homeowner attitudes, knowledge, and responses were monitored in baseline and follow‐up telephone surveys. A third community was selected for comparison. The newspaper series were developed on the basis of previous research and six focus groups conducted with homeowners. The technical series presented authoritative, factual risk information, in the scientific style of the passive voice with generalized and impersonal language. The narrative series consisted of dramatized accounts of individuals making decisions about radon testing and mitigation, written in a more personal style. The findings from the focus groups confirm the results of previous studies, but the small size of the follow‐up samples was a limiting factor in drawing definitive conclusions about the relative effectiveness of the two formats. The experiment demonstrates the difficulty of any risk communication effort on radon and underscores the need for good research design. The study illustrates the need for further research on the role of sociological and cultural factors in the public perception and response to risk.
