Technical Report Writing

For engineers, technicians, inspectors and technical specialists who already write clear English and now need to write inspection, test, calculation, study and investigation reports that others can check and act on. Learn to define the question and scope, structure a report for several readers, present numbers, uncertainty, tables, figures and calculations correctly, separate results from discussion, and write conclusions and recommendations that follow from the evidence. It finishes with technical style, writing for international readers, checking and approval, and issuing and revising a controlled report.
