Academic writing is "...usually written in an impersonal and
dispassionate tone, targeted for a critical and informed audience, based
on closely investigated knowledge, and intended to reinforce or
challenge concepts or arguments."
Technical writing is a
form of technical communication used in a variety of
technical and occupational fields, such as computer hardware
and software, engineering, chemistry, aeronautics and
astronautics, robotics, finance, consumer electronics, and
biotechnology.

NOTE: If you are pursuing
academic or serious nonfiction writing
as a self-directed learner (SDL), you should be aware that
most references to these topic on the
web refer specifically to classroom
writing projects. Students do, indeed,
need some instruction for passing their
courses. Writing for class credit,
however, is an artificial situation that
calls for rules and and techniques that
are often meaningless for academic/nonfiction
writing in the "real" world. Just be
aware of this, and adjust your learning
accordingly.
