AWA: Academic Writing at Auckland

A Design is a key task in technical, scientific and applied disciplines. The writer creates and evaluates an original solution, often to a real-world issue requiring a practical solution. While there are many kinds of Design papers, in technical and scientific disciplines, Designs tend to include an introduction which explains the purpose of the design, a central section which describes the design and supports this with technical data, and a final section which reviews procedures and shows how the design meets specifications (Nesi & Gardner, 2012, p. 183-185). In AWA, Designs include workplace-type texts, including Lesson and Teaching Plans, which use a different structure.
