About this book

Technical Writing: A Practical Guide for Engineers, Scientists, and Nontechnical Professionals enables readers to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Written by experienced practicing engineers, this guide complements traditional technical writing manuals through the presentation of firsthand examples that help readers understand practical considerations in writing and producing technical content. These examples illustrate how a publication originates as well as explain various challenges and solutions.

The third edition features the following:

New and updated exercises, examples, and case studies

New content on software/systems documentation

Treatment of plagiarism to incorporate issues in generative artificial intelligence (AI), open-access archiving, and more

Coverage of popular writing and collaboration tools such as Grammarly, Overleaf, and Google Docs

Increased conversation of writing for non-native English speakers

Latest standards and research

Written in an informal, conversational style, unlike traditional writing texts, this book contains many interesting vignettes and personal stories to add interest to otherwise stodgy lessons. It is aimed at students and professionals in the science and engineering domains.
