FEATURES
Thoughtfully organized. Organized around eighteen principles of clear communication that can be adapted and applied to a variety of communication tasks, the text ensures that students have the tools they need to develop superior writing and presentation skills.
Applied approach. Students are taught transferable skills rather than simply being given templates to copy, giving them a workable and versatile knowledge of grammatical, effective writing. The book demonstrates how each principle can be applied to everyday communication, and further supports these applications with numerous authentic writing examples.
Helpful learning tools. The text includes numerous tips, exercises, and writing samples. It also includes a series of appendices covering the fundamentals of sentence structure, verbs and verbals, modifiers, joiners, punctuation, fallacies, and a new primer on ethics for engineers, all designed to support students in writing polished and professional documents.
