Programme Highlights
As the first technical communication professional in the field of STE to launch an e-learning course to train technical writers and subject matter experts (SMEs) in the use and effective implementation of STE, Shumin Chen, Head of ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English training & implementation firmly holds onto the ethos of clarity in documentation.
On 16 September 2021, 15:55 hrs (GMT+8), Shumin will show conference participants how to use STE correctly and effectively in practice. The main objective of this presentation is to help the audience identify and simplify technical subjects into straightforward content that is often accompanied by a few long overdue ‘aha’ moments. STE content makes for a compelling and positive impact on all document types in the technical field, especially when implemented over a period.
Substantial cost-savings in human and machine translations are easily achieved by simplifying your technical English content because when sentences are simpler and less ambiguous, they become easier and less expensive to translate. Simplified Technical English (STE) drives this change towards efficient content management, re-use, and ultimately sustainability.
Originally developed for the aerospace industry during the 1980s, STE is now widely used also outside the aviation industry, including companies in the defence, diagnostics, electronics, machinery, medical equipment, healthcare, semiconductor, IT, and Hi-Tech industries.
