This second edition has been revised and updated.
Not intended to be read from cover to cover, this book was designed instead to be a quick and useful reference for students, young engineers, and experienced professionals alike.
It provides guidelines, advice, and technical information for preparing formal documents-covering a range of report formats (e.
assessment, laboratory and progress reports).
This concise, no-nonsense guide provides alphabetically ordered and cross- referenced topics, which make it easy to find answers to questions related to writing a technical report or thesis.
Topics include: the format and content of reports and theses; copyright and plagiarism; print and Internet reference citation abbreviations; units and conversion factors; significant figures; mathematical notation and equations; writing styles and conventions; frequently confused words; grammatical errors and punctuation.
It also provides commonsense advice on issues such as how to get started and how to keep your readers attention.
