Synopsis

Writing skills are mandatory for scientists and engineers--just look at technical job listings on any job-search website. But present-day students often receive little help in developing skill at technical writing. Science and engineering educators know bad writing when they see it, but they rarely have the expertise to help students improve. Current texts are out-of-touch with current students, who communicate informally using small, highly concentrated packets of information. Technical Style was written to bridge the gap between professional needs and student abilities. Like all media, technical writing has a style, and writers who ignore that style routinely compose weak, unsatisfying documents. A good technical style must communicate accurately and economically. It relies on text, equations, tables, and figures used in concert to tell a technical story. But in addition, technical writing can serve its purposes without being staid, obscure, or dull. Technical Style is appropriate as a main text in technical writing courses or as a supplemental text in laboratory courses, design courses, or introductory engineering courses. Moreover, Technical Style is well suited for self study--for those who want to be better writers but don't know how to make improvements. Technical Style will show you how to write better, and it does so with insight and a touch of wit.
