The IEEE Guide to Writing in the Engineering and Technical Fields (IEEE PCS Professional Engineering Communication Series)

Helps both engineers and students improve their writing skills by learning to analyze target audience, tone, and purpose in order to effectively write technical documents

This book introduces students and practicing engineers to all the components of writing in the workplace. It teaches readers how considerations of audience and purpose govern the structure of their documents within particular work settings. The IEEE Guide to Writing in the Engineering and Technical Fields is broken up into two sections: “Writing in Engineering Organizations” and “What Can You Do With Writing?” The first section helps readers approach their writing in a logical and persuasive way as well as analyze their purpose for writing. The second section demonstrates how to distinguish rhetorical situations and the generic forms to inform, train, persuade, and collaborate.

The emergence of the global workplace has brought with it an increasingly important role for effective technical communication. Engineers more often need to work in cross-functional teams with people in different disciplines, in different countries, and in different parts of the world. Engineers must know how to communicate in a rapidly evolving global environment, as both practitioners of global English and developers of technical documents. Effective communication is critical in these settings.

The IEEE Guide to Writing in the Engineering and Technical Fields

• Addresses the increasing demand for technical writing courses geared toward engineers
• Allows readers to perfect their writing skills in order to present knowledge and ideas to clients, government, and general public
• Covers topics most important to the working engineer, and includes sample documents
• Includes a companion website that offers engineering documents based on real projects

The IEEE Guide to Engineering Communication is a handbook developed specifically for engineers and engineering students. Using an argumentation framework, the handbook presents information about forms of engineering communication in a clear and accessible format. This book introduces both forms that are characteristic of the engineering workplace and principles of logic and rhetoric that underlie these forms. As a result, students and practicing engineers can improve their writing in any situation they encounter, because they can use these principles to analyze audience, purpose, tone, and form.

這本書幫助工程師和學生通過學習分析目標受眾、語氣和目的，從而有效地撰寫技術文件，提高他們的寫作能力。本書向學生和實踐工程師介紹了職場寫作的所有組成部分。它教讀者如何根據特定的工作環境中的受眾和目的來規劃他們的文件結構。《IEEE工程和技術領域寫作指南》分為兩個部分：“在工程組織中寫作”和“寫作能為你帶來什麼？”第一部分幫助讀者以邏輯和說服力的方式進行寫作，並分析他們寫作的目的。第二部分演示了如何區分修辭情境以及用於通知、培訓、說服和協作的通用形式。

全球職場的出現使得有效的技術溝通扮演著越來越重要的角色。工程師更需要與不同學科、不同國家和世界各地的人在跨功能團隊中合作。工程師必須知道如何在快速發展的全球環境中進行溝通，既是全球英語的實踐者，也是技術文件的開發者。在這些環境中，有效的溝通至關重要。

《IEEE工程和技術領域寫作指南》：

- 滿足了越來越多針對工程師設計的技術寫作課程的需求
- 讓讀者完善他們的寫作技巧，以便向客戶、政府和公眾傳達知識和想法
- 涵蓋了對工程師最重要的主題，並包含示例文件
- 包含一個附帶網站，提供基於真實項目的工程文件

《IEEE工程溝通指南》是專門為工程師和工程學生開發的手冊。該手冊使用論證框架，以清晰易懂的形式介紹了工程溝通形式的信息。本書介紹了工程職場特有的形式和支撐這些形式的邏輯和修辭原則。因此，學生和實踐工程師可以在任何遇到的情況下提高他們的寫作能力，因為他們可以使用這些原則來分析受眾、目的、語氣和形式。
