Reporting Results - A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists (Paperback): David C. Van Aken, William F. Hosford Reporting Results - A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists (Paperback)

This brief guide is ideal for science and engineering students and professionals to help them communicate technical information clearly, accurately, and effectively. The focus is on the most common communication forms, including laboratory reports, research articles, and oral presentations, and on common issues that arise in classroom and professional practice. This book will be especially useful to students in a first chemistry or physics laboratory course. Advanced courses will often use the same formatting as required for submission to technical journals or for technical report writing, which is the focus of this book. Good communication habits are appropriate in all forms of technical communication. This book is designed to help the reader develop effective communication skills. It is also ideal as a reference on stylistic and grammar issues throughout a technical career. Unlike most texts, which concentrate on writing style, this book also treats oral presentations, graphing, and analysis of data.

Pamela H. Smith
R1,018 Discovery Miles 10 180 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

How and why early modern European artisans began to record their knowledge. In From Lived Experience to the Written Word, Pamela H. Smith considers how and why, beginning in 1400 CE, European craftspeople began to write down their making practices. Rather than simply passing along knowledge in the workshop, these literate artisans chose to publish handbooks, guides, treatises, tip sheets, graphs, and recipe books, sparking early technical writing and laying the groundwork for how we think about scientific knowledge today. Focusing on metalworking from 1400-1800 CE, Smith looks at the nature of craft knowledge and skill, studying present-day and historical practices, objects, recipes, and artisanal manuals. From these sources, she considers how we can reconstruct centuries of largely lost knowledge. In doing so, she aims not only to unearth the techniques, material processes, and embodied experience of the past but also to gain insight into the lifeworld of artisans and their understandings of matter.

A good research paper is more than just a clear, concise, scientific expose. It is a document that needs to go beyond the science to attract attention. There are both strict and less definable norms for doing this, but many authors are unaware as to what they are or their use. Publishing is rapidly changing, and needs to be explained with a fresh perspective. Simply writing good, clear, concise, science is no longer enough-there is a different mind-set now required that students need to adopt if they are to succeed. The purpose of this book is to provide the foundations of this new approach for both young scientists at the start of their careers, as well as for more experienced scientists to teach the younger generation. Most importantly, the book will make the reader think in a fresh, creative, and novel way about writing and publishing science. This is an introductory guide suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional researchers in both the life and physical sciences.

Developers working with any system will be able to put their knowledge to work with this practical guide to using Mermaid for documentation. The book is also a great reference for looking up the syntax for specific diagrams when authoring diagrams. You'll start by learning the importance of accurate and visual documentation. Next, the book introduces Mermaid and establishes how to use it to create effective documentation. By using different tools, editors, or a custom documentation platform, you'll also understand how to use Mermaid syntax for various diagrams. Later chapters cover advanced configuration settings and theme options to manipulate your diagram as per your needs. By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with Mermaid diagrams and how they can be used in your workflows.

Well Composed: A Guide to Effective Composition and Transformational Leadership provides students with an innovative approach to English composition and rhetoric. The book uniquely challenges students to develop writing skills and delve into the study of the foundational concepts in transformational leadership. Throughout, students are encouraged to introspectively examine their own level of leadership and self-leadership. The opening chapter, a transformational leadership rudimentary guide, informs students of the principles and components of transformational leadership. Chapter 2 serves as a writing manual that focuses on composition development, featuring explanations of the patterns of development, the composition process from word to essay, and offering samples and visual formats of each pattern. The third chapter introduces students to the basics of argumentation and analysis. Each of the remaining chapters focuses on various aspects of transformational leadership including mindfulness, confidence, self-discipline, grit, emotional intelligence, diplomacy, and character, granting opportunity for students to examine some of America's notable leaders against the backdrop of transformational leadership. With each chapter providing collaboration and composition opportunities, as well as class activities designed to raise students' transformational leadership awareness, the lessons sharpen students' written, speech, critical thinking, and collaboration skills and help them develop their voices. The revised first edition features a completely refreshed interior design. Well Composed is an essential writing text that encourages students' expression, introspection, and retrospection. It is an ideal textbook for courses in English composition, rhetoric, and college writing, and serves as a profound transformational leadership primer.
