Pocket Book of Technical Writing for Engineers & Scientists

by Leo Finkelstein

The focus of this text is to teach engineering students the skill of technical writing. The book is unique in that it gets to the point, uses practical outlines throughout, and actually shows students how to produce the most common technical documents step-by-step. The book also employs a laid-back approach that is focused on providing real-world information in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way. This book is part of the BEST Series.

These affordable BEST modules are easily combined with each other to construct the ideal first-year course.

I found it a good resource and enjoyable read. It is a pocket book, so dont expect too much detail, but contains many useful examples.
