Engineering Communication: From Principles to Practice, 2e

Engineering Communication: From Principles to Practice, Second Edition, is a writing and communications text designed to guide engineering students through the process of writing polished and professional documents. The principles are supported by numerous tips found in marginal boxes, exercises in new "Try This" boxes, and writing samples that clearly demonstrate how each principle can be applied to everyday communication challenges. This resource also includes a series of appendices covering the fundamentals of grammar, plus a new primer on ethics for engineers.
