The second edition of Sharon Burton and Bonni Graham Gonzalez’s book Engineering Words is now available.
Engineering Words draws on the authors’ extensive experience as technical communicators and teachers of a popular class in technical communication for engineers at the University of California, Riverside, to present a comprehensive introduction to communicating in the business world. This book covers everything from the basics of clear writing to résumés to cover letters to requirements documents to presentations and much more.
This second edition expands to cover writing tools (including AI tools), functioning in today’s workplace, ethics, and selling your ideas. In addition, it has been extensively updated with more examples and references.
Engineering Words can be used as a textbook for classes that train engineers to be effective communicators. It can also serve as a self-study text that even experienced engineers will find useful for improving their communication skills.
Engineering Words is now available through retailers worldwide, including Bookshop.org, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com. The ebook edition (bundled epub and web pdf) is also available at the XML Press eBook store.
