Review:

"Writing in Engineering successfully attacks one of the critical communication problems engineering students encounter: it presents the theoretical and micro-scale examples that they need to form arguments."
--John J. Reap, Quinnipiac University

"The text is comprehensive yet concise. Its approach is accessible and pragmatic, a strategy that is clearly attuned to the audience at which it is aimed."
--Susanne E. Hall, California Institute of Technology
