Description
Communication Patterns of Engineers brings together,summarizes, and analyzes the research on how engineers communicate,presenting benchmark data and identifying gaps in the existingresearch. Written by two renowned experts in this area, the text:
* Compares engineering communication patterns with those ofscience and medicine
* Offers information on improving engineering communicationskills, including the use of communication tools to addressengineering departments' concerns about the inadequacies ofcommunication by engineers
* Provides strong conclusions to address what lessons engineeringeducators, librarians, and communication professionals can learnfrom the research presented
Reviews / Votes
"...this book is highly recommended for library and informationscience libraries and engineering special and academic libraries."(E-STREAMS, July 2004) "...a mountain of research. Virtually every paragraphcontains foods for thought. If you want a broad view of engineeringcommunication...I highly recommend this book." (ComputingReviews.com, June 22, 2004) "...looks at all aspects of engineering communication,including how much time engineers spend reading for their jobs andthe kind of information they produce as a result of theirwork."
