Description
The focus of this text is to teach engineering students the skill of technical writing. The book is unique in that it gets to the point, uses practical outlines throughout, and actually shows students how to produce the most common technical documents step-by-step. The book also employs a laid-back approach that is focused on providing real-world information in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way. This book is part of the "BEST" series. McGraw-Hill's "BEST" ("Basic Engineering Series and Tools") consists of modularized textbooks, covering virtually every topic and specialty likely to be presented in an introductory engineering course. These affordable "BEST" modules are easily combined with each other to construct the ideal first-year course. "BEST" texts are also easily customized to create a single text via both traditional and online customization options.
