Technical Writing for Engineers Who Don't Like to Write: A Straightforward Guide Written by an Engineer for Engineers Paperback – January 6, 2023

Good technical writing is one of the things that can distinguish you as an engineer. This is because, as Dr. Martin points out, engineers often lack strong communication skills. I purchased this book to help me develop better technical writing habits, and strengthen my professional writing. It has really helped me understand where I needed to improve. Dr. Martin has distilled technical writing into its essential elements. Each chapter is short and to the point. I read the book in a couple short sittings. There are chapters covering,1. The context of technical writing2. A refresher on grammar3. Word choices4. Structuring sentences and paragraphs5. Persuasion and style6. Using graphics7. How to get immediate practiceHis lessons always tie back to how you can make your writing clear, concise and concrete. I also like his suggestions on how you can get practice right away while doing your routine tasks. He also has some really helpful checklists you can download.Overall, I found this book to be quite helpful.
