A Guide to Writing as an Engineer

by David F. Beer, David A. McMurrey

The purpose of the Beer/McMurrey book is to give engineering students and engineers a brief, easy to use guide to the essentials of engineering writing. Appropriate for use as a supplement to an existing course, or as a resource for an introduction to engineering course that includes writing as one of its components, the Beer/McMurrey book will give engineers the basics of writing reports, specifications, using electronic mail and computers without trying to be an exhaustive survey of all kinds of technical writing.

Comprehensive book. When wearing the engineer hat, I would first before I carry on with my writing identify to whom I need to communicate, and since I am going to communicate, then I need to make sure my words are free from noise, that is they are efficient and straightforward.
