Penn State Writing as an Engineer or Scientist
Writing as an engineer or scientist is much more challenging than many people realize. A large gap exists between what young engineers and scientists have learned about writing in first-year English and what is expected in laboratory courses, design courses, and internships. A large gap also exists between the technical writing taught to undergraduates and the writing expected of researchers. This website tries to bridge those gaps by presenting lessons taught to professionals, graduate students, and undergraduates at more than 100 companies, laboratories, and universities. Also included are models, templates, and exercises for you to use.
