Wrtg 293 Students Your Third Writing Assignment Will Be A Report O

WRTG 293 students, Your third writing assignment will be a report on a professional organization in your field. In this assignment, you will conduct research on your field of study in order to become more aware of the professional contacts, organizations, employment opportunities, and trends in the field. Steps to Take in Completing this Assignment • Locate at least one professional organization in the field or profession that you plan to pursue. One way to locate an organization of this nature is to conduct an advanced search on Google. For example, the following screen capture shows a student searching for professional organizations in cybersecurity.

Please note that a professional organization is a voluntary, member-based organization. A training workshop offered by a company is not a professional organization event. For example, if Cisco offers training workshops and identifies the training workshop as a conference, that event is actually not a conference offered through a professional organization. It is a conference offered through a private company. • Find out what annual or regularly scheduled conferences the organization coordinates. For example, in the field of cybersecurity, the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy sponsors the following conference: • Complete a report on your findings. Your report will feature the following headings.

Paper For Above instruction

Professional Organization

After identifying a professional organization relevant to your field, explore its website to gather essential information. Key details include the organization's founding date, size, membership eligibility, and mission statement. For example, if researching the IEEE Computer Society in cybersecurity, note its origins in 1946, its global membership, and its mission to advance technology for humanity. Ensure that any information copied, such as mission statements, adheres to APA format with proper citations.

Description of Conference

Research one major conference organized by the chosen organization. Many organizations hold annual or regional conferences—such as the IEEE Security and Privacy Conference or the Children’s Literature Association Conference—and focus on specific themes or topics. Collect details such as conference dates, location, size, and significance within your professional interests. If recent data is unavailable, refer to previous years or the upcoming scheduled conference.

Examine the conference's program, particularly the Call for Papers or Reports on Presentations, to identify topics covered. Select three topics of personal interest from the list of accepted papers or presentations. Additionally, review the conference theme or title to understand overarching trends. This process reveals current important or emerging issues in your field. For example, a cybersecurity conference might feature topics like cloud security, threat detection, and privacy legislation, reflecting current priorities.

Write a paragraph discussing the most significant or interesting topics of that conference, explaining why they matter in your field. For instance, if the conference theme centers on "Emerging Threats in Cybersecurity," discuss how new attack vectors and defense strategies are shaping industry practices.

Personal Applications

Finally, reflect on what you have learned from this research about your professional field. Consider how understanding the organization and conference trends can inform your career development or job search strategies. Identify areas of growth, skills to acquire, or professional networks to join that could benefit your future employment prospects or academic pursuits. For example, attending industry conferences can expand your professional network, provide insights into current challenges, and showcase emerging career opportunities.
