DESCRIPTION

Everyone knows that engineers must be good at math, but many students fail to realize just how much writing engineering involves:

reports, memos, presentations, specifications—all fall within the purview of a practicing engineer, and all require a polished clarity that

does not happen by accident. A Guide to Writing as an Engineer provides essential guidance toward this critical skill, with practical

examples, expert discussion, and real-world models that illustrate the techniques engineers use every day.

Now in its Fifth Edition, this invaluable guide has been updated to reflect the most current standards of the field, and leverage
the eText format to provide interactive examples, Engineering Communication Challenges, self-quizzes, and other learning tools.

Students build a more versatile skill set by applying core communication techniques to a variety of situations professional engineers

encounter, equipping them with the knowledge and perspective they need to succeed in any workplace. Although suitable for first-year

undergraduate students, this book offers insight and reference for every stage of a young engineer’s career.
