Rhetorical Situations of Assignment 1

For this assignment I will be focusing on the way engineers write, so that I can fulfill my purpose of becoming more familiar with the writing in my major. One way I plan on doing this is interviewing my uncle, who is the Head Engineer for Ford in Detroit. This will give me insight into the everyday writings of this field and help prepare me for the future. This paper will also help my intended audience of other engineering students achieve the same success as I will. I am interested to see how much engineering writing differs from traditional everyday writing.
