Marqui丛林

“I use what I learned in the TC degree [program] a lot.”

Marqui is a 2018 alumnus working for Sandia National Labs as a systems engineer. 虽然 her current work is not specific to the field of TC, she emphasizes the unique opportunities presented by having TC expertise. TC skills like an eye for documentation design and refined writing proficiency allow her to fill important needs and stand out among 她的工程师同行. Experiences such as collaborating on her thesis and studying visual communication helped prepare for work in and outside the confines of TC. 她 counts the variety of specialization areas and flexibility of work in TC程序 among the reasons why undecided or incoming students should consider pursuing TC.

“You can really get to know your professors.”

“I made great friends with my peers”

Ali is a documentation specialist at NRAO. 她 graduated from NMT’s TC program in 2019 after switching between multiple majors. 她 cites the appeal of the program to her creative personality as an important reason for eventually settling on TC.  For Ali, community was an important aspect of the program. 发展友谊 with her peers allowed her to reap the full benefits of collaboration on projects and develop the sort of cooperative skills that would directly carry over to the workforce. The help she received from both classmates and instructors led to her creation of standard operating procedure documentation for the Puerto Seguro homeless shelter. 她 credits this project not only with helping her develop critical skills but also enhancing her resume at the outset of her career.

"There's a lot of joy in learning something and then sharing it with someone else."

Keegan is a tech writer for a data analytics company and a 2018 alumnus. 社会 for 技术交流 played a significant role in his TC journey, and he notes both the fun of participating in the NMT chapter and the valuable experiences of attending the STC conferences as high points of his time at Tech. Keegan’s appreciation for the importance of interpersonal skills to success in the TC industry and how such experiences helped shape these skills is a testament to the value of community to TC程序. The advantage to his career of having a technical focus in his repertoire is also apparent to Keegan. Overall, TC程序 provided him with the tools he needed to excel at the work he enjoys.

“技术交流 is really unique.”

“The TC program… covers so much.”

Jade graduated from TC程序 in 2020 and now works for Hobby Lobby as a copywriter.  Her job entails writing instructions, descriptions, and names for products along with various other public-facing writing tasks. Community was a very important part of 她的TC旅程. Jade was a president of NMT’s Society for 技术交流 chapter and made fond memories fundraising, mingling at chapter meetings and attending STC峰会. The program’s hands-on nature, the availability of help from faculty, and the tight-knit group of peers made Jade’s time at Tech equally valuable and memorable.

“[The TC program] gave me wings as a student that I didn’t realize were wings until I had gotten out of the program.”

“ag亚游集团App下载 [TC program] is worth it because of the real-world application… professors push you to apply what you've learned under real-world scenarios instead of carefully controlled class scenarios.”

瑞秋 completed TC程序 in 2015 and now works on user experience research for the library of Texas Tech. 她 recalls her TC experience with fondness for the program’s distinctly enjoyable flavor of productivity and a respect for how the program equipped her for the workforce. These sentiments are evident in her stories about TC at NMT -- from spending a late night with friends working on theses in the writing center with a blanket fort and snacks to getting her senior project published in 技术交流, a flagship industry journal. 瑞秋 benefitted from the hands-on practicality of TC程序’s many projects that are often completed to solve real problems for 真正的客户. 她 also attributes the success of her publication while still an undergraduate in part to the TC faculty pushing her to explore the full potential of her work.
