TL;DR: In this paper, a series of feasible technical standards are established within an institute of architectural design for quality control, and the PDCA cycle is adopted by dividing it into four stages: planning of technical standards, doing of technical standard, checking of technical quality, and acting of technical technical standards.
Abstract: The quality of architectural design mostly rested with the individual performance of architects in the past Today, with the increasing development of technical level, the quality of a design project more than ever before entails the cooperation among different professions invovled and the teamwork of a professional team The engineers and scholars, however, tend to disregard the errors in cross-professional communication and the unnecessary duplicate labor which cause problems for the quality of design Based on the theory of Total Quality Management systems, the thesis suggests that a series of feasible technical standards be established within an institute of architectural design for quality control Specifically, we adopt the PDCA cycle by dividing it into four stages: Planning of technical standards, Doing of technical standards, Checking of technical standards, and Acting of technical standards Finally, this essay will make a conclusion and give some suggestions on technical standard-setting

TL;DR: In this article, a brief review of the state of technical education in Rwanda based on a study conducted in 2007, with pertinent recommendations is presented, and a 5-year implementation project plan proposal, to address the identified shortcomings, needs, and expectations of government is advanced.
Abstract: This paper presents a brief review of the state of technical education in Rwanda based on a study conducted in 2007, with pertinent recommendations. The background of technical education in the country is appreciated first, and then followed up with a situational analysis. Thereafter, a 5-year implementation project plan proposal, to address the identified shortcomings, needs, and expectations of government is advanced. The need to raise access to post tronc commun (post O-Level) technical training is addressed within this proposal with a specific interest to increase the capacity and range of programmes running in the existing ETOs, and the introduction of new ETOs where deemed necessary. The establishment and sustenance of a good quality technical education system is also given consideration in this proposal for effective and efficient rehabilitation of existing physical facilities and the purchase of new and appropriate training equipment. Simultaneously, considerations for increasing the number of technical teachers in the system to a determined optimum level while setting minimum acceptable qualifications for technical teachers are advanced. Implementation of this proposal is expected to contribute greatly to the continuous development of a labour pool with skills that are relevant to and adequate for the needs of the economy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the technical nature of technical communication, examine the characteristics of an existing technical excellence program as an example of a nonmanagement career path, and briefly discuss how one might build technical expertise, which might result in being a potential candidate for a technical excellence career path.
Abstract: All companies provide promotion opportunities to talented employees demonstrating management skills. However, for those not desiring to pursue a management track, yet desiring increasing responsibilities technically, the opportunities to progress may seem limited. Although technical communicators already bring technical skills to the table, increasing domain expertise in a technical area outside of communication (e.g., engineering, programming) may provide continued challenges for one's career. As an example, technical communicators may look to engineering programs for technical fellows as examples of how a nonmanagement career path with domain expertise may provide advancement. This paper (1) outlines the technical nature of technical communication, (2) discusses the technical nature of technical communication, (3) examines the characteristics of an existing technical excellence program as an example of a nonmanagement career path, and (4) briefly discusses how one might build technical expertise, which might result in being a potential candidate for a technical excellence career path.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply systems engineering to the business system development problem and describe the systems engineering process elements needed to implement technical strategy in the commercial environment, including technologies to be used, company practices for a successful business, and positive feedback from customers.
Abstract: A successful technical strategy is critical for success in the high technology industries. But defining a successful technical strategy can be difficult, in part because there is little in the literature on developing and implementing successful technical strategies in Corporate America. The basis for much of the advanced thinking on effective strategies comes out of the military environment: what an effective strategy is and how it can be implemented. This paper briefly reviews some military thinking on strategy. The major thrust of this paper applies systems engineering to the business system development problem. It identifies key technical elements of the business strategy, technologies to be used, company practices for a successful business, and positive feedback from customers. In this context, the issue is to systems engineer a business solution and an effective technical strategy. A second thrust of this paper is to summarize the systems engineering process thus needed to perform this front end business system development. This paper describes the systems engineering process elements needed to implement technical strategy in the commercial environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the system engineering process in company-funded internal R&D and illustrate technical objectivity as a tool in addressing internal and external corporate product innovation barriers, and as an essential element in achieving an IR&D product's commercial success.
Abstract: Three capabilities, or intellectual tools, are considered particularly important to Research and Development (RD namely Technical Objectivity, Technical Depth and Technical Breadth. In this brief report we deal with the first tool and leave the latter two for a future paper. The paper concentrates on the system engineering process in company-funded Internal R&D. The intent is to illustrate Technical Objectivity as a tool in addressing internal and external corporate product innovation barriers, and as an essential element in achieving an IR&D product's commercial success in the market place. The systems engineer's task of identifying, acquiring and applying Technical Objectivity is discussed, including characteristics and applications. This task is applicable (tailorable) to several types of IR&D efforts within the fast moving infotech, biotech - medical, telecommunications, instrumentation/electronics, and engineering/technical services industries, as well as the aerospace and defense industries. Our main observation is that Total Technical Objectivity for planning and operating IR&D projects is a capability found in a team, rather than in an individual.
